To the two different drivers, one heading east and one heading west on Virginia Avenue boarding Wash Park today around 3pm who both stopped in time and didn't hit that kid who rode out in traffic...thank you! Thank you for being heads up drivers. Truly three people screamed it looked like it was for sure going to happen...well done!
I rode the bus forever, and it’s been super reliable for me. The app, screens at union station - all within a few minutes of accurate.
I bought a car, but for financial reasons I’m back to bussing. Honestly missed it. Haven’t had time to read since driving, and turns out the car only saves me ~30 minutes a day anyway.
But the screens and app are so far off. Like the 120x just showed up at the regular time, but the resources predicted it a whole hour later. Same deal at Union. What gives?
Just witnessed an absolutely horrific accident at 12th and Broadway. Kid on a Veo bike not wearing a helmet runs a light, gets hit by a car flies up in the air comes down hard. My guess is that he may have been very seriously injured like maybe brain injury. The person who hit him pulled off the road and was fully accountable, but it was not technically their fault. I guess I’m putting it out here because I wish more people would wear helmets when they ride those things. I pray to God this kid doesn’t end up with a life altering traumatic brain injury. Everybody stay safe out there. Lots of good Samaritans and a very quick response. Sending up all the good vibes prayers or whatever you wanna call them for this kid.
Edit to add: To clarify: I’m saying kid but really likely a 20-something. Also, correction it was 13th and Broadway, but I can’t update the headline for some reason which is really annoying. Thanks to the poster who pointed out that I had the address incorrect.
At roughly 5:10PM, on my way home from work, there was a lot of Police activity, like 4+police cars, blocking the entire intersection with a firetruck and paramedics. Just a massive emergency response unit. Anyone know what’s up?
Zillow has most current Denver median list price of $533k. Compare that to the peak in 2022 on the chart of $610k - i.e., a 12.6% drop.
Moreover, if you compare housing appreciation from just before COVID in 2020 - that is, before the housing market got real crazy - you're looking at a compound annual property appreciation rate from 2020 to 2026 of only ~2.5% (Growth from property value in March 2020 of $457k to current 2026 property value of $533k, based on the chart above).
Additionally, anecdotally, in my neighborhood, I've now seen 3 to 5 houses in the past couple months either list (and still have not sold), or actually sold for between 20% to 30% less than what they were actually purchased for during the 2021 to 2022 peak. On the other hand though there are a lucky few that - for whatever reasons - held out and still got premium prices in the 2022 range.
Just thought this was interesting, it's essentially taken 3 years since the most recent interest rate hike cycle began for gravity to take effect and start actually bringing Denver prices back towards traditional affordability levels, although still not quite there.
For affordability level, Denver median household prices is about $95k which - with a down payment of about 20%, at today's interest rates, and using bank loan debt/income ratio standard - would give an affordable housing price of about $470k. So, about 10% more drop to get back to traditional affordability metrics, if that ever happens.
This is only the beginning of flocks downfall hopefully! More states will surely follow suit as the consensus seems bipartisan. Additionally, this is initiated by a republican Governor and legislature. Bye bye and flock off. Please please , Colorado next.
Buckley SFB and their contractor Radiant Nuclear are set to start operating their first-of-a-kind Kaleidos Nuclear Micro-Reactor(s) in as little as 16 months in Aurora, less than one mile away from 5 schools including a preschool.
This ANPI project is happening against the backdrop of massive deregulation and the hobbling of NRC safety standards. Exposure to radionuclides is carcinogenic and dangerous to human health, and the waste and pollution related to the uranium supply chain has devastated communities all over the country and right here in Colorado.

Circa 2000-2005. When I was working downtown I used to love going to the soup spot on 17th and Larimer. It was on the southwest ish corner. Kinda where Queen City is now. Does anyone remember this spot? He was the nicest guy, he always had a half dozen hot soups and a cold soup I recall. He had the best bread. I miss that spot. I wish there was something like this now. Who else can reminisce with me here!?
Adjacent to Denver lies the City of Cherry Hills Village. The Village has recently posted “educational” material claiming that ebikes are banned from all Village trails (and the portion of the Highline that is within the Village). Upon questioning, the Mayor asserts that this is not new, that ebikes have always been banned, pointing to the municipal code 11-3-80 passed in 2003.
However, reading that text, it uses the term "motor vehicle".
The State defines motor vehicle in a way that specifically excludes ebikes C.R.S. § 42-1-102. Given that was passed in 2017... can one argue that IF the Village chooses to exercise its jurisdiction to ban them, it has to pass a new / revise the existing statute?
The Village is a “home rule city” so, per CRS 42-1-102 it certainly has the authority to ban ebikes on trails under its jurisdiction but can it do so by interpretation rather than legislation? And is it really the case that each section of the Highline has different rules, purely at the whim of the various cities?
NOT near the airport before some of you smartasses pipe up. I'm at 17th & Colorado and it was so low and close I could see every detail. Even more weird, I tried to FlightRadar it and it says "private owner"--private jets fly over me all the time and this was a HUGE passenger jet.
It was headed south, and I thought for a moment it was going to try an emergency landing at Centennial (obviously too big but I was on a 777 from NYC to Dublin once that landed at Bangor, Maine when a passenger had a heart attack so who knows) but FlightRadar is showing it turned around and landed at DIA? I'm not very good at FlightRadar so that's all I can decipher.
I've lived in Park Hill for 15 years and none of this seemed like normal airport traffic.
I'm a student working on my dental hygiene license in Denver. My program requires that I find all of my own patients to complete graduation requirements. If you or someone you know is in need of affordable dental care, please send me a DM. We focus on cleanings and can give referrals to the CU Dental School for any treatment that is needed.
Hi! I am trying to find my medical records from Apex family medicine. I understand that Apex was sold to skylight health, and then they went out of business.
Does anyone know what happened to their patient records, or have any other ideas how I can find them?
The apex that was on Jackson St, not the newish one in Parker. Thanks!
Obviously closer is better. But if anyone has some areas they would recommend please let me know. It’s for a friend who wants to do an installation with some.
Does anyone have any dog boarding recommendations or a rover person that they truly trust? I'm not a fan of Skiptown. And the two dog sitters I typically use are unavailable. I have a 9 year old black lab that will need boarding this month and December. Thank you in advance.
I am the curator at the Adams County Historical Society Museum at 9601 Henderson Road 80601
September 26th (Saturday) from 11-4 we are having our annual Heritage Days event and fundraiser. It is free for all ages to attend. There will be a live blacksmithing demonstration, baby goats, food trucks and beer for sale! There will be a classic car show, historical reenactments and more to come.
The Adams County Historical Society museum has an impressive collection of fossils, mineral specimens and cultural artifacts that span the entire history of Adams County. Over the years, interest in the museum has waned and I am doing my best to give it a facelift and get the community engaged again. We are a smaller institution with very limited income sources so boosting our attendance numbers are crucial. I'm passionate about getting a new generation of locals invested in the community again and I really want this to be successful.
If you can't attend, maybe you could share with friends, family or neighbors. There is more information on our website www.adamscountymuseum.com/beer or maybe you could check out our instagram @ adamscountymuseum
I'm looking for Kirtan spots around Denver and also yoga spots that feel more than a place to work out & have an emphasis on vedic roots and spirituality w/o feeling performative.
I've found: https://www.denveryogaunderground.com/about-us-all/ for both Kirtan and yoga which I plan to check out but curious if folks have any other recommendations. I'm a bit west of the city in Golden but don't mind traveling for the right spot.
I'm also aware of NKB Bhakti Dham in Highlands Ranch (which I love and recommend) though it's a bit far during the work week for me https://www.nkbbhaktidham.org/
EDIT: if anyone has any great local mechanics for breaks, Preferably around Highland / Arvada area.
I am looking for a Mazda dealership - do people prefer Macdonald Mazda West (Lakewood) or Schomp Mazda Aurora?? Looking to have my breaks done, plus also for future because I have warranty. Thx!
My little sister is being released from jail today and is looking for mental/behavioral health centers to check herself into. A place where they do a good job addressing her symptoms, accept Medicaid, and make her feel safe. She has bipolar disorder and she can be really paranoid especially around men. Any places that you guys would suggest? Can be anywhere from Fort Collins to Castle Rock. Thank you!
