Puppies and kittens are undeniably cute. We were certainly enamored with the dozen or so doggies running around for this month’s cover photo shoot. Many of them were Designer Dogs, products of a newish fad that has breeders crossing Pugs with Beagles, Labradors with Poodles to create desired looks and traits. They even have fun names such as Puggles, Corbasses and Labradoodles.
Did you know Boulder has a film production company? Did you know this company recently wrapped production on a movie called Woodshop starring former Professional-Wrestler-turned-action-movie-star-turned-Minnesota-Governor-turned-actor Jesse Ventura? Did you know the movie is a dramedy about a high school valedictorian forced to take woodshop class in order to avoid an “F” due to a chem lab ab accident that almost killed his teacher?
I am a bit jealous of my friend Neil. It has little to do with his collection of horribly good ’80s movies or his even larger collection of awesomely bad music from that decade. It’s not even his straight-out-of-Pier 1 Imports Asian décor that has me feeling a bit covetous. No, I’m feeling green after realizing how close Neil lives to the Waterloo Icehouse in Old Town Louisville.
I probably shouldn’t have said anything. It was what, just a month or two ago, when I gave local cable provider Comcast kudos for the way they were handling certain aspects of their formidable high-speed Internet business.
Ian Kleinman, the executive chef at O’s Seafood and Steak in Westminster, has begun teasing our palates with a bold culinary style—one that leaves overplayed steakhouses in the dust, tempting us instead with a little bit of culinary magic.
Briggs Avenue, Erie’s de facto main street, is sparsely lined with a handful of restaurants, a rambunctious karaoke bar and a few unpresuming storefronts. It’s pretty quiet in Old Town on a weeknight.
...Furthermore, I find these types of catty Liberal attacks embarrassing for the entire Democratic Party. I can’t say I agree fully with either party, but the inappropriate means to constantly discredit President Bush are outrageous. ...
So we were wrong last month when we thought a garbage flap in Superior would just blow over. It turns out that the residents who were upset over the city awarding a single contract to one trash service provider that the deal stunk enough to call for change.
It looks like the St. Vrain Valley School District is as worried about the economy as it is the education it offers. Saddled with budget shortfalls, the district has been expected to ask voters for a boatload of much-needed financial help in the form of property tax increases. They are still going forward as planned, except the bond issue will be $189 million—roughly $20 million less than a...
Louisville is possibly changing its trash ways, too. The city took the first step toward a pay-as-you-throw curbside trash program meant to encourage recycling by charging extra to those who throw away lots of garbage. Louisville’s neighbor, Lafayette, has a similar program in place...
Picture a 350-room hotel, glistening conference center, a light rail station nearby and piles of other development bursting around it all. Shake downtown Denver out of your mind for a second and start thinking about Thornton...
Margie Patterson didn’t want a porn store in her beloved Allenspark. But Jeff and Vicky Mead owned an ATV shop and were looking into transforming the two-story lodge-style building into a pornography gallery when county officials told them they could no longer rent the four-wheelers...
In anticipation of the Great American Beer Festival next month (who hasn’t been counting the minutes since last year’s event ended), we offer a guide to tasting local beers before the madness begins...
Boulder park rangers have warned locals to keep clear of mule deer this birthing season. Seems the deer have turned nasty and chased after pesky homeowners on several occasions. Officials have not reported any deer-related injuries so far. “The deer are giving birth, and they like to give birth in people’s yards,” Taylor said. “When people go out to use their yards, the deer can be aggressive.”
The Democratic National Convention is about a lot of things: politics, oratory, pomp, celebrities, networking. But at its heart, the DNC is about money. And whether you like it straight, on the rocks, shaken, dirty or with a twist, high proof cash was flowing freely in and around the Pepsi Center all week.
Franco Harris has four Super Bowl rings and an MVP award from the big game. Yet he was far from the top of the glamour heap of celebrities attending the Democratic National Convention. Still, the Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers great was in awe of the spectacle that took over Denver at the tail end of last month.
These are the dogs that have popularized intentional mixed-breeding. It’s a toss up which traits will dominate (smashed nose or long snout, etc.). They are active and outgoing.
Both these dogs tend to shed little making the mix a good choice for those in need of a hypoallergenic pet. They are small, averaging 12 to 16 pounds, meaning this is a good match if you live in a small home or apartment.
Our photographer Jessica Grenier loves her 1-year-old Rat Terrier and Beagle mix. But she doesn’t know for sure that Diesel is actually part Rat Terrier and part Beagle. And that’s a drawback for potential pet owners when they head over to the local humane society. It’s impossible to be certain what your cute fella actually is—until now.
Now that you’ve picked out your perfect family pet, make sure you grab some of this cool gear to make your pup or kitty the envy of the neighborhood...
The pet issue is the one time a year we get to showcase our beloved animals. These are the furry creatures who always smile at us when we come home from a long day of work...
East Coast transplants often get labeled with the snob tag, especially when it comes to food. Let’s face it, culinary hubs such as New York City set a pretty high food bar, which means many of those who’ve migrated west find it hard to accept some of the Rocky Mountain region’s offerings
There are few constants in the suburb of Westminster. Here are two of them: The Valente family and their sandwiches that carry cult-like status in the area.
Dish Gourmet is what you would call a small sandwich bistro. It’s the kind of deli that refuses to be outdone by a certain “five-dollar foot long” fad. In today’s fast-paced world, Dish would like you to slow down and smell the pastrami.
Tucked into a row of industrial buildings in Longmont, Cheese Importers has been one of the area’s best kept food secrets. Its unparalleled selection of hundreds of kinds of cheese, hard salami, olives, olive oils, vinegars, jams, crackers, fresh bread and sweets creates a growing group of fans as each new visitor discovers what amounts to an authentic French bistro disguised as a warehouse.
Going to a butcher shop to get your steaks or burgers–not to mention monster sandwiches–is almost quaint, elitist even. But the decidedly blue-collar approach that owners Lee Westcott and Ron Lamb bring to Longmont’s Your Butcher, Frank is intentional.
From a purely statistical point of view, it’s not surprising that Boulder rakes in a lot of scientific accolades and awards. One in 25 adults (older than 25) has a Ph.D in something and a whopping 53 percent of its residents have at least a bachelor’s.
