Every Friday night since 2013, thousands of car enthusiasts have scanned their Facebook feeds, waiting for Manny Rivera to announce the first location and time of the weekly 1320 CC meetup (the club’s name is a reference to the length in feet of a quarter-mile drag race). When the information is live, hundreds scramble to gather for a “cruise.”
The Denver Museum of Nature and Science announced earlier this month that it was closing the eight-year-old City Park weather station due to the ongoing construction there. Almost every news channel in town references the number from this weather station as its official temperature.
While the new license-holder for Civic Center Park on April 20, 2018, begins working out the details, we wanted to submit our very particular 420 wish list to Santa.
Yesterday, November 27, the Denver Post set into motion its latest round of layoffs just over a year after shrinking the newsroom staff by 26 employees through the combination of a buyout offer and supplementary dismissals. Seven positions included in the Post’s contract with the Denver Newspaper Guild are affected, and another four employees working non-union gigs also appear to have been discharged.
The credit score required for renters to get approved in Denver remains among the highest in the country due in part to the still-red-hot housing market in the Mile High City.
On November 20, Denver Environmental Health banned kratom for human consumption in the wake of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration alert issued a week or so earlier. This decision set off a firestorm of criticism from kratom advocates, who see this action as demonizing a plant-based substance that relieves pain without the well-known negative effects of more powerful opioids. Seconding these views is Nicholas Moodley, who started his own Denver-based kratom business, Kratom Cafe USA, after using the product to kick an opioid habit that seemed on the verge of overwhelming him.

As we’ve reported, at least 168 bears have been euthanized in Colorado so far in 2017, a year in which the number of conflicts between bears and humans has both alarmed and exasperated Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials. Ground zero for this phenomenon is Pitkin County, home to the moneyed enclave of Aspen, where CPW personnel have put down more than fifty bears and dealt with literally hundreds of incidents during the past ten months-plus. The troubles are so frequent that they seldom make headlines even at times when bears rip apart homes with residents hiding inside them.
Watching Twitter during and after the latest embarrassing Denver Broncos loss, this time to the Oakland Raiders by a 21-14 score, turned into something of a sociological study. The reaction to quarterback Paxton Lynch crying on the sidelines after a combination of injury and ineptitude forced him from the game demonstrated just how divisive the sight of a man displaying emotion can still be in 2017.
Thanksgiving weekend was a big one for pot sales and other specials in Denver, and the holiday season is also looking lit.
On November 25, Denver TV stations prominently identified Javeon Brown when the Denver Police Department sent out an alert about the thirteen-year-old in relation to a Thanksgiving Day triple shooting near Manual High School. The outlets stopped doing so the following day after Brown’s arrest because he has not been charged as an adult for the crime. However, their reports continue to link to his name, and at this writing, a CBS4 item that scrubbed his moniker from its text sports a video that includes it.
Travelers trying to get out of town for Thanksgiving on Wednesday ran into more than just usual traffic on the roads and the expected large crowds at Denver International Airport.
The Denver Department of Environmental Health recently banned the sale of kratom for human consumption. The decision followed a public-health advisory issued on November 14 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warning individuals not to consume kratom, a popular herbal substance of Southeast Asian origin that’s become more widely…
