When he kicked off Denver ArtsWeek earlier this month, Mayor John Hickenlooper echoed former Governor Dick "Duty to Die" Lamm when he told the crowd, "We all have a duty to shop." Now Denverites will get a chance to put their money where Hick's mouth is, when the mayor and assorted city boosters -- Nick LeMasters, general manager of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center; Richard Scharf, president of Visit Denver; Tami Door, president of the Downtown Denver Partnership -- kick off "Mile H
November 25, 2008Wake-Up Call: Let it snow, let it snow...
Cocktail party conversation isn't easy this holiday season -- if anyone's holding cocktail parties, that is. Two safe topics: the Broncos (since the team's still winning) and the weather -- which is as Colorado-wacky as ever. A beautiful weekend, then snow today; record highs last Tuesday, record lows on Thursday. And spirits only got lower on December 4 with the announcement that the Rocky Mountain News is for sale -- putting hundreds of jobs in limbo. Then came Friday's grim news of a

March 9, 2000Buzz Geller dishes on the Bell Tower, mega-rich tenants and the lunacy of Denver's planning department
The Bell Tower is the most talked-about building in Denver that's yet to be built. Ever since local real estate developer Buzz Geller proposed the strikingly angled 34-story condominium at the corner of Speer Boulevard and Market Street, folks have been buzzing about it -- some grumbling, while others saying it's the sort of iconic jolt Denver's humdrum skyline needs. The debate seemed moot, however, when the Lower Downtown Design Review Board (LDDRB), an agency which consults with the city's pl
February 4, 2009Wake-Up Call: The week ahead, February 16-21
The big news: Barack Obama is coming back to Denver, the town where he accepted the Democratic nomination on August 28, and where now, as president, he will now sign the $787 billion stimulus bill on Tuesday, February 17 at the Museum of Nature & Science (conveniently vetted by the Secret Service before the DNC, at the inconvenience of the museum, which had to close for a day). Although Colorado, even with all its shovel-ready public projects, isn't expected to get a huge share of that cash,

September 13, 1995The Sage Building, formerly the Fontius building, gets its name in lights
After decades of disregard, it's been a busy couple of years for the downtown structure formerly known as the Fontius building. First in the summer of 2007, local developer Evan Makovsky bought the infamously decrepit building at the corner of 16th and Welton streets as part of his ambitious plan to renovate the entire block. Then, with the help of Klipp architects, Makovsky restored the building to its former luster in time for its coming-out party during the 2008 Democratic National Conventi
May 5, 2009Wake-Up Call: Shooting from the lip
Independence Institute chief John Caldara lost the battle of the sexes shoot-off at the organization's annual ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms -- but not in that order) event at the Kiowa Shooting Club on Saturday, but he's still a master at shooting from the lip. "I always aim for the left wing," he said, after nicking one clay pigeon.http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/ This year's featured ATF speaker was Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, whose fifteen minutes o
June 22, 2009Tasteless head games at A Taste of Colorado
Colleen Don Dero got a taste of Colorado recently, but she didn't like it much. Several decades ago, the Colorado native moved to Phoenix, where she runs a hat and T-shirt company called It's All About the Head. The apparel features the company's name as a slogan alongside a mug of beer overflowing with foam and graced by a set of lipstick-kissed red lips. But when Don Dero, who is in her fifties, applied for a booth at A Taste of Colorado -- which takes over Civic Center Park Labor Day
August 19, 2009Zombie Crawlers get $1,000 bill -- for cleaning up fake blood
A Flickr photo"I don't care if real blood is easier to clean up than the fake kind..."This past weekend's Zombie Crawl on the 16th Street Mall (captured in this slideshow) was a huge success on every level for the bash's founder, Daniel Newman. But that doesn't mean it was cheap. After spending about $2,000 of his own dough making the spectacle truly spectacular, Newman received an additional bill for half that amount. "Basically, the Downtown Denver Partnership, the guys who manage the
October 28, 2009No reduction yet on $1,000 Zombie Crawl fine
A Flickr photoWaiting around is a drag -- even for the undead.Last week, we told you about a $1,000 fine levied against the organizer of the annual Zombie Crawl -- for cleaning up fake blood. At the time, chief crawler Daniel Newman said he was eager to sit down with representatives of the city and/or the Downtown Denver Partnership to make sure participants weren't being charged for cleanup that would have been done on any night, and to see if there might be some way of moderating the co
November 2, 2009Here's what downtown's 14th Street should look like -- in 2011
There's been a lot of ballot-casting taking place in these parts lately. But the general public didn't participate in a vote being touted by the Downtown Denver Partnership. Instead, it involved businesspeople who've decided to dip into their wallets to help renovate a key stretch of 14th Street, as seen in the elaborate animations on view above. "The property owners along 14th Street voted to pay approximately $4 million out of $14 million to make improvements," says DDP spokeswoman Sarah Neu
