It’s going to get heavy. We all know it. We’re not sure how, and we’re not sure when. But the events taking place in Washington, D.C., this coming week are going to unfold like the plot of a paperback thriller. The protagonist would have it no other way. Whether you love him or hate him, Donald J. Trump’s inauguration will be historic. And Westword will be on hand to cover the chaos.

Just hearing the word makes me imagine something ripe and refreshing. Something like Strawberry Banana — the cannabis strain, not the smoothie.

It’s been a long road for Initiative 300. Last summer, some people doubted that Denver’s social-use provision would pass — and the vote tally wasn’t official until a week after the November 8 election.

It’s taken nearly seven years to convict Javier Aguirre of killing Lyndsay Pham at Aurora’s Descano Plaza Apartments, which she co-owned and managed, even though even though police suspected Aguirre from the early stages of the investigation.
We’ll be entering a new era on January 20, when Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States at his inauguration ceremony in Washington, D.C. Although most of the action will be in the nation’s capitol, Denver will also have plenty of inauguration-related events.
It’s hard now to imagine a time when Denver real estate wasn’t booming — when we weren’t used to the the sounds of jackhammers pounding away at concrete or paying big-city prices in rent. Here are just ten projects in the works in and around Denver. 1. Jeffco Battles Over Proposed…

Usually, heavy snows in the mountains are good for ski areas, but this last week has proven that even when it comes to snowfalls and skiing, there can be too much of a good thing. A-Basin shut down on January 10 because of heavy snows and avalanche danger. A-Basin’s responsible decision-making (not only did it close on Tuesday, but it was only open for “limited skiing services” on Wednesday) raises the specter of avalanche danger in our state. It’s one of those things that no one likes to talk about, but that we sort of have to, to prevent disasters like the ones below, and do everything we can to ensure no more lives are lost.
Roger Armstrong, Capitol Hill United Neighborhood’s executive director for ten years, is stepping down, and last year, CHUN announced it would outsource production of the 2017 Capitol Hill People’s Fair, Denver’s oldest arts and music festival known for highlighting local nonprofits and businesses, to an event-planning company.
