Gov. Jared Polis’s pedestrian bridge is not without merit, nor does it have to be an assault on the historic district, as some critics have claimed. Adding an interesting and functional architectural feature and tourist attraction to a struggling part of the city is a good idea for an entire…
The apprehension and two-week detention of Caroline Dias Goncalves was a waste of federal resources and a violation of human decency. Goncalves, a nursing student from the University of Utah, has not been charged with any crime, and because the activities of Trump’s immigration force are shrouded in secrecy, it…
We are thrilled by rumors that the Broncos’ new owners are acquiring land to keep the football team in the heart of Denver, right where it belongs. A brand new, privately financed stadium on currently contaminated and abandoned land, Burnham Yard, is a vision we can get behind. The 58-acre…
Hating on downtown Denver has become a sport for some, including recent college grads finding Denver’s cost of living to be unsustainable, anyone who has recently navigated Colfax’s construction cones, and yes, our Republican members of Congress who use the city as a political pawn in the debate over Venezuelan…

This saddening news of President Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis has added fuel to questions about his health during his presidency. No one wants to see the former president and long-time senator facing a serious illness, and I hope that his treatment is effective. This announcement was made the same…
When a malnourished and dehydrated 7-year-old died in Grand County with deadly levels of sodium in his blood, the response from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office was to send an investigator and an assistant county coroner to assure the child’s parents that the investigation would go no further and that…
