Latest Word will be dark until Monday, what with New Year’s Eve 2010 upon us. If you’re still looking for something to do, or something else to do, on Friday night, check out our top 10 lists below…
We’re ready to hit the lights and hit the bars, or something like that, for New Year’s Eve. But first we’ve done some heavy blog reading today and present these three fascinating stories…
William Breathes noticed that the Ballpark Holistic Dispensary was going through a slight identity crisis — the grow-supply setup was stellar, but the law requiring dispensaries to grow most of their own product has made it difficult to keep up with demand. Our medical-marijuana directory contains dozens more dispensaries, many…
Stuck somewhere between being a grow supply store and a medical marijuana dispensary, the Ballpark Holistic Dispensary is having a slight identity crisis…
Update: Police arrested their suspect, Michael Anthony Renner, this afternoon at a storage locker. Englewood police conducting a welfare check on a 49-year-old man found his dead body in the 3400 block of South Lincoln Street on Wednesday. They believe the man, whose name hasn’t been released, was the victim…
Christopher Blackstone was so infuriated that his girlfriend wouldn’t answer her cell phone when he called after an argument that he stomped her puppy to death, police say. Hmm, doesn’t really sound like dating material…
The gin-soaked novelist who declared that there are no second acts in American lives never caught the many acts of Tom Tancredo — former U.S. Representative, presidential hopeful, gubernatorial spoiler…and now late-night talk show host. Starting Monday at 10 p.m., the Tom Tancredo Show will offer a nightly serving of…
If you are planning a New Year’s party for sixty or more of your best friends who each drink two or more bottles of wine apiece, you will have enough booze bottles to make a beautiful garden border similar to the one shown in the picture above. Below, see how…
Before the Nuggets beat the Timberwolves 119-113 last night in Minnesota, Nuggets head coach George Karl said his team considered trading for hot-shooting Timberwolves star Kevin Love this past summer. According to reports, Karl said the organization asked about a possible trade for Love, a 6′ 10″ power forward…
On Tuesday, 9News reported a story about a woman who uses a webcam to check up on her dog during the day instead discovering a burglar in her Capitol Hill home. Strange? Yes. True? Yes. It’s the latest weird story in a year that was full of them. Every year,…
It doesn’t seem like the Denver Police Department should have to remind people not to leave their cars unlocked and running. But then, the DPD is like our dads, always pointing out the obvious, and we, the citizens of Denver, are like obstinate children, always doing stupid stuff on purpose…
Names like Josh McDaniels, Scott McInnis and Jamie Paulin-Ramirez made us cringe this year, committing dastardly deeds or generally making fools of themselves and the Centennial State. And as such, they’ve been inducted into our Hall of Shame 2010 (available right now from newstands). But can you remember who embarrassed…
The discovery of medical-marijuana patient records behind the former Apothecary of Colorado has members of the MMJ community smoking mad. But poindenver had an interesting take:…
A 47-year-old man shot his wife during an argument in Aurora on Monday. He turned himself into police and is now in custody. The couple had no relatives in the area, and the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office is working with out-of-state police to locate next of kin. Until they do,…
We begin with the drama in Greeley… An Arizona truck driver lost his mind in Greeley and hijacked a Comcast TV truck, which he then drove through the locked gate of a Mormon Bishop’s mansion and told the man he was ready to see Jesus. When the cops showed up,…
In this state, patient medical marijuana records are protected by medical privacy rules and the state constitution. When patients fill out their MMJ applications, it’s assumed they will be locked securely away, not even accessible by law enforcement. The last place anyone would expect such forms to appear is next…
Two days before Christmas, Christopher Blackstone of Colorado Springs got into an argument with his girlfriend, Talitha Peterson-Hooks. She ignored his subsequent calls and texts, and, according to the police report, that’s when Blackstone turned to Peterson-Hooks’s three-to-five-month-old puppy and stomped on its head repeatedly…
An administrative law judge has slapped an $11,300 fine on a charity set up by anti-tax crusader Douglas Bruce–the latest chapter in the murky maneuvering behind three tax-slashing amendments that opponents spent millions to defeat this fall. Bruce, of course, didn’t bother to attend the hearing on the matter two…
Prediction #1: Unable to stop the increasing incidence of slope rage, Colorado ski resorts begin to promote Spring Break pay-per-view broadcasts of Ultimate Ski-Fighting® to help generate revenue. Below, see how the stoner vote affects the Denver Mayor’s race…..

For the fourth year running, The Sawaya Law Firm will pick up the New Year’s Eve tab on your cab ride home. They’ll actually pay your fare tonight, as well — the program started on December 23rd and goes until January 1…
One is the loneliest number. The Pro Bowl rosters were released last night, and, assuming there are no Broncos added as replacements, the team will have its fewest representatives since 1988, when punter Mike Horan was the lone Bronco. That team was much better than this one, too: They went…
