Fall in Colorado can be unpredictable. One afternoon we’re enjoying sunshine and temperatures in the 70s, and a day later we’re looking for the snow shovel. As we swap shorts for jackets and prepare our homes for winter, pet owners often wonder whether our dogs and cats need similar seasonal adjustments. One question that comes
In mergers and acquisition (“M&A”) transactions, disclosure is a critical component of the due diligence process and overall deal success. Seeing what is “under the hood,” so to speak, can separate a deal from going through, stopping in its tracks, or potentially haunting parties post-closing. With this, sellers face an important strategic decision and clients
There is something magical about Halloween that goes far beyond candy and decorations. For me, as a vintage store owner, it’s one of my favorite times of year because Halloween gives us permission to step outside of ourselves and try on a different persona literally and figuratively. Throughout the year, we often dress according to
I was born in the 70’s in Denver, and anyone who grew up here then remembers the seasons as part of our identity. As kids, we always saw the first snow arrive right after the first days of school. It was dependable, almost ritualistic. And without fail, it would snow the week of Halloween. We
Have you ever wanted something but couldn’t seem to achieve it, no matter how hard you tried? Frustrated you try and try again, only to fulfill the story that lives in your head that says you just don’t deserve this — and that must be why it’s just not happening for you. I have countless
One lesson from COVID-19 remains clear: Preparation matters. As a physician, I often hear questions about whether healthcare systems are ready for the next pandemic. My answer is yes, because preparation is not something we do only during a crisis. It is something we practice every day. At Intermountain Health, emergency preparedness is an ongoing
Lutheran Hospital is part of a metro Denver partnership helping local residents remain safely in the place many love most: their home. Through an annual grant from Intermountain Health’s metro Denver hospitals, Lutheran Hospital supports Brothers Redevelopment, Inc., a housing stability nonprofit that works at the intersection of health and housing.

Dental implants are one of the most widely used options for replacing missing teeth, yet misconceptions still cause many people to hesitate. Understanding fact versus fiction can help you make a more informed decision about your oral health. Myth #1: Implants Are Only for Older Adults The truth: Age alone does not determine implant candidacy.
In 1976, the R&B funk band Rose Royce released what would quickly become an unforgettable hit: the irresistibly upbeat and instantly recognizable song “Car Wash.” With its lively handclaps, bright horns, and playful lyrics about the characters you might meet while working at a car wash, the track captures a lively slice of everyday life.
Excellent news coming in from Gastown Garage Denver over on 29th! We’ve been following their progress for over a year, and things are really starting to come together.

October is best known for colorful fall leaves, pumpkin patches, and Halloween, but it is also a month dedicated to several important causes and celebrations. Most notably, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign that promotes education, early detection, and support for those affected by breast cancer. Throughout the month, communities across the
Spooky Season is upon us! October is the time for carving pumpkins, drinking apple cider, and celebrating Halloween.

National headlines suggest alcohol consumption is on the decline, with Gallup reporting that U.S. drinking is at a historic low. In 2026, 54% of U.S. adults said they drink alcohol, tying the record low set the year before. Younger generations are drinking less, the population is more health conscious and the use of GLP-1 medications
October usually brings a familiar change to Edgewater. The days grow shorter, the leaves begin to turn, and residents start thinking about raking, winterizing and getting ready for the first snow. This year, however, fall arrives with an important reminder: Colorado is experiencing an exceptionally dry year, and water conservation remains a community priority. The
Neighborhoods in Wheat Ridge often see trash trucks rolling by almost every day of the week. That’s because the city operates an open waste collection system, which means that residents choose from a handful of licensed private haulers. Although the freedom to choose who hauls your trash is nice, it also means that many Wheat
The cost for Wilmore-Davis is 2.84 million, with reselling the building and about 4.5 acres, resulting in the city paying $90,000. Great deal for sure but it is being paid out of the City Capital Funds and the Open Space Budget. It doesn’t look like the ballot initiative is involved with that initial purchase. If
I call Wheat Ridge “home” because my house is literally in Wheat Ridge and because it’s where I feel like part of a community. Grocery stores, coffee shops, trails, schools, restaurants, recreation, activities, and most importantly, social connectivity are all right here. I value the small town feel with the metro area amenities which is
On November 3, Wheat Ridge residents will vote on a ballot measure proposing to raise the City sales tax rate to 4.5%, making the total rate 9.0%. This measure places an unfair burden on working families, places local businesses at a disadvantage, lacks budget transparency, and highlights a failure by City leaders to explore financially
The arrival of fall (finally!) got me to musing about what life was like for pioneers when diet and nutrition became a concern and starvation loomed. Colorado’s climate is great for raising all kinds of food crops, but what if the crops fail? What if hail pulverizes gardens and crops? What if grasshoppers eat everything

Most of us probably don’t think much about the road beneath our tires until we hit a pothole, drive over a rough patch of pavement, or encounter a street in need of repair. But maintaining our roads is one of the most important services a city provides, and doing that work proactively can make a
