We're so accustomed to Denver landing on positive lists — just last month, U.S. News & World Report named the Mile High City the best place to live in the country — that when our home registers poorly, it comes across as a shock. That's certainly the case with the...

When you live in Los Angeles, you don’t really think about music scenes anywhere else. Why would you? L.A. has it all. Sure, you might occasionally give a passing nod to cool shit going on in other places. Kudos to Seattle for that grunge run way back when. And, yeah,...
When Michael Hancock ran for mayor in 2011, part of his platform called for changing the way Denver government interacted with its constituents. “We wanted to be the most globally competitive city, so we had to get better from the inside out,” Hancock explains. “We needed an innovative way to get at old vestiges of thinking in city government.

There has been no shortage of scribes offering their versions of Colorado's journey to legalizing cannabis, but few have presented it as the fascinating, epic comedy that it really is.

Now, just in time for Super Bowl 50, WalletHub has set out in search of the cities with the best football fans...
How funny, really, are dick pics? Millions of them must be snapped and shared each year, as inducement or harassment, celebration or shaming. Perhaps Harper's Index could tell us the tonnage of coal mined each year to power the transmission of American crotches. So when a dick pic turns up...

Critics rarely receive love from filmmakers. Last year’s Best Picture Oscar winner, Birdman, featured a vengeful harpy of a theater reviewer (played by Lindsay Duncan) hellbent on annihilating a play before she’d even seen it. Birdman was joined in its release year by other unfair portraits of critics in Top...

Last year around this time, we shared the results of the 2014 American Fitness Index. In it, Denver came in fourth — a fine finish, if not quite as good as its performance in a Sharecare.com survey on the same subject published earlier that year. In the latter, Denver was number...
