A Denver blog post triumvirate. DenverRadio.net debates the return of Nuggets and Avs radio broadcasts to 950 AM, now Cruisin’ Oldies — but overlaps will still be heard on Mile High Sports Radio/1510 AM. Huh? Face the State’s Peter Blake documents Rep. Kathleen Curry’s latest trip to court. No party…
Richard Stieb reportedly has a long criminal history, with a felony conviction for burglary among his accomplishments. But according to a Nexis search, none of his alleged crimes generated a single media blip — until now, after he was charged with doing something sure to earn the ire of law…
Another day, another Denver Post story that treats Republican gubernatorial nominee Dan Maes like an empty-walleted joke.

Last month in this space, dispensary owner and veteran Wanda James shared her excitement about the decision by the Veterans Health Administration to allow vets to use medical marijuana. But “excitement” isn’t a word that leaps to mind after reading the VHA’s directive on this policy shift. The majority of…
Lou Smit, who passed away Wednesday at 75 after a battle with cancer, was the kind of hard worker who never got the hang of retiring. In his case, the work was homicide investigation. And sticking with it put hundreds of truly scary, violent men behind bars…
The typical Boulder neighborhood is a quiet place. But the past couple of days at the community’s Somerset subdivision have been positively explosive. According to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, homemade bombs — plastic bottles filled with chemicals capable of going “boom” — have been found in common areas like…
We’ve cornered three Denver blog posts. They’re not going anywhere — until you click on them. 5280’s Michael de Yoanna links us to TheChive.com, whose Internet hoax about a woman using a white board to unmask her sexist boss has made a cyber-celeb of Glenwood Springs’ Elyse Porterfield. For her…

Yesterday’s train derailment at Tiny Town was hardly kids stuff, with well over a dozen injuries reported, ranging from scratches and scrapes to broken bones.

Although marijuana is included in many edible products these days, few people choose to eat it in the form of a joint. That’s one of many ways Carl Martin allegedly stands apart. Note that he’s accused of confiscating said joint while pretending to be a cop — and then after…
Looking at photos of the Lofgrens, it’s hard to imagine a more perfect family. Which only makes the cruelty of their fate that much more heart-wrenching. All four died in 2008 of carbon monoxide poisoning in an Aspen rental home. Now, their kin have filed a civil suit against Pitkin…
