Oxford's urinals top our list of alternative Denver tour stops: What tops yours?

Civic boosters love to travel to other cities to see how they do business -- and maybe engage in some monkey business themselves.

By early June, Denver will long be in the rearview for the Black Keys dudes, who'll play here on Monday, April 30. Too bad.

Denver is eighth most promiscuous city in the U.S.? Aren't we easier than that?

"We're not promiscuous. We're just posed that way."​Hooray! Another city list in which Denver scores high! And we do mean "scores" -- because Mile High has placed eighth in OKCupid.com's list of the ten most promiscuous cities in the U.S.

Drink of the Week: Trade Whiskey at The Fort
