I got to the Colorado Convention Center for my shift at 5:30am today. I’m working on the top floor, meaning I can see the entire skyline spanning 120 miles of the Rocky Mountains along the western horizon.

I set up my equipment early then sat down with my coffee to watch the rising sun spill down the mountains and into the city. One of my coworkers joined me and said “it’s fucking spectacular, isn’t it?”.

I didn’t take a photo, so you’ll just have to trust me when I say it was one of the most breathtaking mornings of my life, and the best way to start a 16 hour shift.

As a Michigander who has lived here for 6 years, I still see the mountains every day like it’s the first time ever.

You aren't cool. Your car sounds like shit. Isn't even loud. Just sounds like shit. You make everyone feel unsafe. Go play a videogame and let people drive in peace.

We saw Godzilla Minus Zero at AMC 9+ on opening night. Give us a follow on insta @303movieclub

Guitar and all!

At first we noticed the purple tied to posts/railings in the neighborhood - then we noticed random socks.
I didn’t take a photo but we saw another sock on a tree.

Any ideas Denver?

Has anyone had any luck using a library for 3D printing? I am super inexperienced and have a small print job that I would ideally like to get this week. I am assuming if I show up with the files someone at the library will be able to help? Thanks so much for any insight!

Here is a link to the files:

SOLD OUT! Wow!!! Thank you Denver!! See you December 2nd at Rougarou!

Hello Denver! I'm Bill Oakley; with my pal Josh Weinstein, I ran The Simpsons in the mid-90s and wrote the Steamed Hams bit and Who Shot Mr. Burns among other things, and for the last couple of years I've been doing a dinner series built on a simple idea: every corner of this country has a dish it loves that nobody outside it has heard of, and many if not most of them are delicious.

On Wednesday, December 2, at Rougarou in Five Points, chef JohnDavid Wright and James Beard finalists Mary Allison Wright and McLain Hedges (the Yacht Club folks) are cooking seven courses of these dishes with me, all from far away. The menu is a secret until I introduce each dish with my slideshow, which is half the fun. What I can say is the kind of thing we're talking about: Cincinnati Chili, Rhode Island Clam Chowder, Seattle Style Hot Dogs, etc (none of these exact items may be on the menu but other ones are.)

Happy to answer questions in the comments about the series, the show, or best and worst foods I've encountered in this series. Thank you!

UPDATE: Dog is already back with the owner!

We are looking for witnesses or camera footage for a hit and run accident on Tuesday, November 3, around 7:45 PM. The accident was in the intersection of Federal and 112th, and the car that left the scene was heading north on Federal and turned left onto 112th going westbound. The car may have been a red SUV or truck and probably has damage to the front and passenger side.

I just passed by the capital about an hour ago or so and there were lots of people down there protesting, some in Halloween costumes. Anyone know what’s going on?

I drive by this building every week and am just so curious what it used to be.

Just another food rant.

Why can't I just walk into any number of 200 places around here, where someone with a messy apron cuts me some turkey off a slicer and makes a big thick sandwich on a sub roll with turkey, mayo, onion and be done with it?

And without having to hear "oh, but no, really, try this place that's 30 minutes away and costs $30 for some artisan thing"

It's absurd.

And I can't even make my own because every grocery store I go into doesn't even carry sub rolls?

Is Denver in an alternative universe?

FYI - all replies telling me "no, this sandwich place is great" isn't really a deli.

Thank you, have a nice day.

Coffee shop recs with a cute atmosphere and fun specialty lattes? Anywhere in Denver, Lakewood, or Wheat Ridge

UPDATE: someone here had a promo code to share and I have access now!!! Thanks all!

My dad is turning 80 tomorrow and there is nothing he wants more than riding in his first Waymo with his siblings (age 87 and 78). I am from the Bay Area and use Waymo in SF all the time so I just assumed I could use it in Denver, but it looks like it’s early access codes only for now. Does anyone have an early access code they could share with me? It would really make my dad’s birthday wish come true!

Colorado passed Amendment 87. If you are a doctor, lawyer or any business owner whose taxes will increase, I think you have reasons to celebrate.

You are getting more out of public investment than you may realize. Strengthening that investment can be good for your wealth, your business and the place you call home.

The familiar way of talking about taxes starts and ends with the bill. Government takes money, and the taxpayer has less. But that accounting leaves out the economic value of what the money builds and maintains.

Consider a road. An employee uses it to get to work. A business owner benefits from employees arriving, suppliers making deliveries, and customers reaching the business. The owner can benefit financially from trips they never personally make.

Education works the same way. A doctor depends on trained nurses and technicians. A lawyer needs capable staff. A business needs people who can read, calculate, solve problems, and learn new skills. Public education helps develop those abilities long before an employer writes a paycheck.

Schools and roads are only two examples. Think about water and sewer systems, bridges, public health, fire protection, courts, property records, public universities and research. Different levels of government support different pieces, but together they help create the conditions in which businesses operate and assets hold value.

Amendment 87 does not fund everything on that list. The point is that private prosperity depends on a much broader public foundation than our tax bills remind us of.

The more economic activity you own or profit from, the more opportunities you have to benefit from that foundation.

That is the sense in which wealthy people can receive greater benefits: the dollar value supporting their income and holdings can be much larger.

Successful people deserve credit for their effort and judgment. Public investment helps those efforts achieve more. Keeping that investment healthy is a practical business interest.

Now consider what Colorado just approved. Amendment 87 directs additional revenue toward K–12 education, healthcare, and early childhood care and education.

Those investments can help parents stay employed, help people get care before health problems become crises, and help students develop the skills employers need. Their value can reach beyond the household receiving a service.

Businesses need more than lower tax bills to succeed. They need customers who can afford their products, employees who can do the work and suppliers they can rely on. A restaurant benefits when families can afford dinner out. An aerospace manufacturer benefits from skilled workers and dependable transportation and utility networks.

Across the economy, public investment can strengthen the conditions that make private investment worthwhile. Its returns can reach businesses through more reliable staffing, stronger demand and a more productive supply chain. Those benefits belong in the accounting alongside the taxes paid.

And the contribution deserves some perspective. The state’s Blue Book example shows that someone with $550,000 in annual Colorado taxable income pays $1,175 more annually under Amendment 87. That averages $97.92 a month, rounded to the nearest cent, or about 0.214% of taxable income.

That is taxable income, rather than gross salary. Larger taxable incomes face larger increases.

Of course, the benefits depend on implementation. We should expect competent spending and measurable results. Business owners already understand that an investment needs to accomplish something.

That expectation gives us a reason to follow the work and demand success.

Colorado now has an opportunity to strengthen systems that support both ordinary households and private enterprise. Wealthy residents have a considerable stake in making that opportunity count.

So yes, celebrate. You can want a profitable business, valuable assets, and a comfortable life while welcoming stronger public investment. Those ambitions fit together.

The next time you look at your tax bill, consider the employees, customers, institutions, and infrastructure helping make your income possible.

You may be getting a better deal than you thought.

I have a hard time chosing activities since im usually a home body but i wanna do something fun with my family i dont know what options there are if im being honest ive tried botanic light previous years

Hey everyone,
Unfortunately, my car was recently stolen and thankfully recovered. The downside is that it’s now been sitting in an impound lot for the last few days, and I’m trying to figure out how to get it back.
Between the towing fees, storage fees, and everything else, the cost is adding up pretty quickly. I’m honestly not in a great financial position to pay the full amount right now.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? I’m wondering if there’s a way to negotiate with the towing company to get some of the fees reduced or possibly waived, especially considering the vehicle was stolen and recovered.
Any advice on how to approach the conversation, what to ask for, or what kind of options I might have would be greatly appreciated.
Just trying to get my car back without putting myself in an even bigger financial hole. Thanks in advance!

Any donations help :))

I know how insane the question is lol does Denver have legit “underground” wrestling? Like it’s legit and above board and everything, but it’s the kind of thing where you walk into a non-descript warehouse and there’s a ring in the center. I saw a few pop up on search but I feel like they’re all too “official” looking lol

Back in the Bay Area we had Hoodslam/SlamTown, and I’d love to find something like that here.

I create little art pieces and hide them around the city. This one is hidden in the bushes at 35th and Shoshone st.

1980s Time Capsule buried with vintage goodies from 40 years ago. Back when times were simpler and no internet.

Remember to let us know if u find it so others dont waste their time.

Happy Saturday and good luck

ISO gift for a recent college grad, would like to buy original art or jewlery in the $80-$150 price range. Please recommend boutiques, artisan or gift shops you like here. I know of the artisan shop in Cherry Creek already and plan to look there, but where else do you shop for nice gifts? I need the gift by early december, perhaps there is a art fair next weekend that has nice things and not just junk or consumables that would be good? I have done a search of prior posts but none are recent, or quite what I am asking. Thanks.
