Our post about reports of students consuming marijuana in class using vape pens generated lots of strong reactions. Here’s a post by a reader who’s equally tough on teachers and vape-pen users…
The Broncos’ loss to Seattle in the Super Bowl was an awful experience for every true fan of the team. But hundreds of Coloradans also experienced something considerably worse — and the vast majority of them got what they deserved: arrested. Specifically, the state Department of Transportation says 315 drivers…
So you think your neighbor’s a pain in the ass? If the portrait of 74-year-old Silverio Nuanez painted in a complaint filed against him by the Boulder DA’s office is accurate, he’s allowed his abode to deteriorate into such a hellhole that even the church across the street wants something…
Last June, we told you about a triple shooting at 1235 Albion that injured two people and killed one man, Gabriel Scott. Early on, Tayvon Martin, 21, was the prime suspect, but shortly after the shooting, he fled the state. Then, earlier this month, cops learned Martin was back –…
A lot’s changed since July 2013, when we published our previous post highlighting the six most expensive homes for sale in Denver, as featured on The Home Cart website. Of that half-dozen properties, four are now gone, and one that remains has had its price reduced by nearly half-a-million clams…
Update: Over the course of the past few weeks, we’ve told you about the efforts to reopen Red Mountain Pass, which has been closed to unfettered traffic since January 12, when falling rocks smashed onto Highway 550 south of Ouray, with others on the cliff side dangerously close to following…
Yesterday at about this time, we told you about the fourth death at a Colorado resort during the current ski season — a 46-year-old man who died after crashing into a tree at Keystone. Little did we know at the time that a fifth skier had also lost his life:…
As we’ve noted, official tourism agencies in Colorado continue to keep marijuana at arm’s length, as it were. For instance, a VISIT DENVER list of things the city has in common with Seattle, released prior to the Super Bowl, somehow managed to skip legal pot entirely. Not that the media…
Denver blog posts ain’t got no body. The Redheaded Slut counters all manner of negativity in a piece entitled “I Am Taking My Body Back.” At our Backbeat blog, meet incoming music editor Kiernan Maletsky. Colorado Pols believes Magpul, a firearms firm that received a giant grant for relocating from…
Melanie Asmar’s post about a report that found landlord bias against blacks, Latinos and families stirred up a lot of conversation among our readers. Some believed the results, while some doubted them. This reader falls into the latter category…
More than a week after the Broncos’ Super Bowl loss to Seattle, plenty of fans are still sensitive to the size and scope of the defeat. An example? At this writing, one of the five most viewed posts on the Colorado Springs Gazette website is an article from Las Vegas…
The story told in the arrest affidavit of Denver’s Kristen Rose Smith is so bizarre that it seems more like fiction than fact. But authorities in Wisconsin stand by their account, which states that Smith faked a pregnancy, kidnapped Kayden Powell, the days-old baby of her half-sister, and then left…
Last May, we posted about a University of Colorado study that found May-December couples are seldom rich or hot. Afterward, Brandon Wade, CEO of Seeking Arrangement, billed as “the world’s largest Sugar Daddy website,” offered a rebuttal. His sugar daddies are rich and hot, he insisted. Now, Seeking Arrangement has…
On January 14, we reported about the tragic death of Sean Teater, the third official ski-resort casualty of the season. This weekend, unfortunately, that number increased by one: A thus-far-unidentified 46-year-old man died while skiing at Keystone, despite wearing a helmet. We’ve got details about his sad passing, including videos,…
For the first time, the Westminster Police Department has used the name of Vincent Neff, the sixteen-year-old student who set himself on fire in the Standley Lake High School cafeteria. The official revelation comes as a result of an extremely sad development: Nett has died from injuries sustained during his…
Vape pens used to smoke marijuana aren’t new: We wrote about a dispensary giving them away to chemotherapy patients back in 2012. But with the growing popularity of e-cigarettes, the concept has gone mainstream in a big way thanks to the way the devices mask much of the scent and…
We recently counted down the Sharecare.com list of America’s most fit cities — a roster that placed Denver at number one. Many of our readers agreed with this ranking, but one in particular had a strong reaction to what she sees as a major omission…

Colorado Pols on the the tightening race facing Senator Mark Udall. Mile High Hockey’s Steve House offers an Avs-centric Olympics hockey preview…
Ashley Weber is a quadriplegic who lives with her young son, Collin, in a house whose rent she can afford due to a Section 8 housing voucher courtesy of the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. But in December 2012, after revealing that she uses medical marijuana for pain…
While Cyler Miles, one of the most highly recruited prep athletes from Colorado in recent years, may be enrolled at the University of Washington, he remains a Broncos fan. However, his apparent dismay over the team’s humiliating Super Bowl loss to Seattle may have put his UW career at risk…
A lot’s changed since October, when we last posted about Colorado’s twenty most wanted sex offenders. In December, a new suspect rose to number one: Roger Dale Price, age 61, seen here. But this week, both Price and Eugene Parker, listed at number sixteen, have been busted. Look below to…
