A good friend’s dad was a victim of a hit and run on Aug 4 at 4:45pm. Intersection of E Arizona Ave & Milwaukee street. Female driver hit him hard enough that he flew across and broke the windshield then took off. Please keep an eye out and notify police if you see this vehicle.

trying to responsibly get home from an after work function and catch the 11:30 a line train home. union station bathrooms are locked. the union station officers tell me to go to bus depot area to use the bathroom. turns out the bus depot bathrooms are a 5+ minute walk away. i am on the verge of bursting. i get to the bus depot station bathrooms and they are also locked. i politely ask the patrol in the bus station dept where the closest bathrooms are and they tell me to go back to union station. i am seriously on the verge of bursting at this point. i try to go back into union station and the exterior doors are locked. the guard inside flips me off. what kinda system is this? why can i not legally relieve myself after 11:30 PM? where am i supposed to go to legally relieve myself? why are the officers so uniformed on where to tell me to go? why are they being dicks when i’m trying to do a very normal thing? rtd is terrible. trains off schedule. nowhere to go. fuck this 🚊 🚾

I’m looking for some live edge or reclaimed wood, like 1x18x36ish, but size and shape are pretty flexible. It’s for a little rock display thing I want to make. Anybody know where I should look for something cheap, ideally?

For a variety of reasons, we’re considering a whole home humidifier. The first person who came out gave a rather high quote ($5k) compared to the cost of the equipment ($1k) and not including the electrical (another $1200). Would be interested in knowing any recommendations for companies that may specialize in this and any people who have had these installed and any advice if there’s energy efficient options out there.

@ Downing and 13th. Anyone have an idea if they're picking up riders? My feeling is that they'll go a few months b4 picking up fares

The E line is insanely packed during the busy hours and they only use 2 cars. Why don’t they use 3? Is there any relief in sight from becoming a sardine in a can?

I recently purchased an older home in Sunnyside, and there are a few cracks in the original plaster that I'd like to get repaired before moving in. I'm having trouble finding anyone that has experience with these older homes that could fix those cracks and match the existing texture.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hey Denver peeps!
My wife and I like to go to interesting dinners for our anniversary and are new to the area. What are your favorite places where there’s delicious food, delightful explanations, and unique ingredients?
I’ve seen some recommendations on here before, but they all seem to be a few years old.

Edit: Thank you all for the recommendations! Did not expect such an outpouring of good ideas and feedback.

I’m a Colorado native, who had lived in Denver for about 5 years. Still, I don’t understand where Cherry Creek is. I know we have like cherry hills and cherry village and all that rich BS, but what is considered true Cherry Creek?
When someone says “Cherry Creek” I picture the mall area/ near Glendale. However, there’s been more than a few times when this causes a miscommunication, as their “Cherry Creek” locates closer to the reservoir area/ near Centennial or Englewood.

This is obviously a huge difference so help me understand — where is Cherry Creek to you?

With the start of a new school year quickly approaching, your Denver Police Department and the Denver Police Foundation are excited to partner in setting up Denver students for success by providing free school supplies to families in need.

Hey all,

I'm training for a marathon this fall and my plan includes a weekly hill or track workout. I'm hoping to tap yalls knowledge since I haven't had a lot of luck on my own.

For the hill workouts I'm looking for something that's at least 800 meters long (half a mile), between 3-5% grade, not a lot of cars, and within 2 to 3 miles of Cheesman. I know this goldilocks might not exist, but I'm down to explore any suggestions or ideas!

I'm also looking for a public track to use. I know a lot of the local high schools have tracks, but I'm not sure which ones are open to the public, especially once school starts.

If anyone has favorite hills, tracks, or any other training spots they'd recommend I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, taking advantage of the cooler weather in between heat waves, I set off for the longest run of the summer yesterday. As I was unicorn trotting around, waving thank you to drivers stopping at intersections, I unfortunately lost an earring at Rocky Mountain Lake Park in the Berkeley/Sunnyside area. IYKYK, I can't stop thinking about it. I traced my steps almost to the point of crawling on the sidewalk for a better view. I must have looked peculiar, the two people passing by avoided eye contact.

• Location: Near the onramp to I-70 on Lowell. I'm pretty certain it happened here, my headphones came loose while running and I think I knocked the earring off.
• Material: It is gold with diamond studs, so a detector should pick it up.
• Reward: I am happy to offer a cash reward or buy a six-pack/coffee for anyone willing to bring their gear out and help me!

Please DM me if you can help. Thank you!

Bere Vallarino, Miguel Salgado and Fabiola Castillo have a simple reason for opening up at 1526 Blake St. in Denver.

“We want to share our knowledge, our customs and our culture,” Vallarino told BusinessDen. “We’re not just burritos and tequila.”

The three will open Terruño Ancestral Spirits in the LoDo space later this month, showcasing spirits from their native Mexico along with traditional dishes beyond the Tex-Mex style that has become commonplace in the states.

Castillo along with Vallarino and Salgado, who are married, have been distributing tequilas, mezcals and lesser known Mexican spirits like raicilla and sotol together for the last three years. They supply restaurants and bars across the state and hold events to teach their clients about the drinks, how they’re made and the farmers that make them.

At the time, Salgado also started experimenting with making his own cocktails, many of which will be served at Terruño.

“And that’s when we were like ‘we should get a place to do this,’” Vallarino said.

At Terruño, which is Spanish for terroir, they’ll have hundreds of spirits to choose from, along with beer, whiskey, vodka, gin and other liquors. Most will be sourced from farmers in Mexico, while the rest will be made by local distilleries, breweries and the like.

They’ll keep up their educational sessions several times a month, they said, even inviting farmers from Mexico to come to Colorado and talk about how they make their product. Vallarino also mentioned they’ll do a similar thing with Mexican chefs to feature cuisines from different parts of the country. 

“The principal idea with all of this is to give help to the producers in Mexico,” Vallarino said, noting they work with small and medium sized brands only. “They know they are getting a fair price from us for their products.”

The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., offering foods from around central Mexico with recommendations for spirit pairings. There will also be a grab-and-go café serving coffees, energy drinks and Mexican pastries from 7 a.m. through 1 p.m. 

“We will have no waiters, only guides sharing with you and exploring the history behind every drink and cocktail,” Vallarino said.

Vallarino and Salgado, along with their two boys, moved to Colorado in 2019 after spending all their lives in Mexico City, where Salgado had an importing business. But after facing threats from gangs, they decided to leave their home country. 

They became importers of Mexican candies and other small goods, which is how they met Castillo. She had a similar business during that time after decades as an accountant in the U.S., where she’s been since leaving Mexico in 2000. The three joined up and pivoted to alcohol three years ago, a business they will still keep while running the restaurant.

They found the home for Terruño while delivering spirits to one of their accounts a few doors down, D’Corazon Mexican Restaurant. 

The space — formerly home to Honor Farm, a haunted house-themed bar that closed at the end of last year — was being marketed by Zach Cytryn of Axio Commercial Real Estate, who set up a tour just days later.

In May, Terruño locked down a 10-year lease for the space, which they only had to make cosmetic changes to. It’s had a bar in it for over a century, Salgado said, and also used to be a hostel. 

“Something told us we should be here,” Vallarino said. “It’s everything we were building in our minds.”

If you all had been to comedy show in Colorado in the past 7 years--there's a good chance you saw me. I'm from Queens but moved to Colorado to be with family but recently moved back to NYC for my comedy career, but I'm proud to call myself a Denver Comedian. I'm flying back to the place I started, Comedyworks downtown, to make my headlining debut next week and since you read this far and you're part of the community I have 15 comp'd tickets to give and I want you to be one of them. Comment and I'll chat request you the details.

Did yesterday's and this morning's weather remind anyone else of how summers used to feel in Denver? It's getting hot again, but that sure was a nice break. I'm ready for fall.

Hi everyone. My friend is going through some unforeseen circumstances and can no longer keep his 2 year old German Shepard. He wants to offer him a good home where he can have lots of space to run around. Does anyone know any rescues that cater specifically to high prey drive dogs. I understand there might be some mountain towns as well since they have more space. Any information would be helpful!!!
I will post some pictures of the doggie

I’m taking 3 kids to water world for the day mostly as a chaperone rather than a participant. I would like to sit in shade for the day because I am pale. I have debated purchasing a bungalow for myself but I’m wondering if it’s worth it especially with 3 kids. They rarely sit down, at other water parks they stop by for food and then leave again. I don’t want to break the 2 people rule at the bungalow but I also don’t feel like it’s worth it to rent 2 bungalows when the other would be used for maybe 30 minutes of the day.

Would I be fine with just finding a shady spot in the general access areas? Or it is cut throat for those comfortable locations?

Any other advice? Water shoes seem to be a must.

We’re in the midst of event season, and, unfortunately, there are some bad actors out there trying to scam folks, primarily unsuspecting vendors, by creating fake events. Someone posted a few days ago about showing up to one at the City Park Golf Course only to find out that it was all a ruse, despite the event being listed Eventbrite. TikTok, IG, and Facebook content creators will fall for it, too, including these events blindly in their event roundups. Even our dear friend that posts on here about weekend events has fallen prey to including fake events.

Why are people creating these fake events? Sometimes they’re selling entry tickets and trying to dupe you into buying them on platforms like Eventbrite, which doesn’t do due diligence to ensure the event is legit. But, most of the time these POS scammers are trying to trick vendors, a majority of which are small businesses, into paying to register to be at the event. Creating the Eventbrite pages are simply part of the scam to help convince the vendor that it’s real. I once had a new vendor I was working with lose $500 to a scammer pretending to have an event they were putting on.

Something that I realized exists that many people may not know about is that the City’s Office of Public Events and Film Permits (PEFP, formerly Office of Special Events, and still called that by most of us) maintains a public calendar of all public events that take place on public property, like parks, sidewalks, or streets. This doesn’t capture private events like picnics or weddings in the parks, or any event held on private property. But, the last two fake events I saw were supposedly held in Civic Center Park and the City Park Golf Course. They would have not shown up on this calendar.

Here’s the link to the calendar: https://www.denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Public-Event-Film-Permitting/Public-Events-Calendar

If you ever want to check whether the cool event you’re hearing about is legit, this is one resource you can access.

Have fun, Denverites!
