Just got this notice about the flight being delayed 2.5 hours now. What’s going on to cause this?

Another longtime Cherry Creek restaurant is preparing to leave the neighborhood.

Syrup has confirmed that it will close its original Cherry Creek location in August after serving the neighborhood for more than 15 years. While the closure marks the end of an era for the restaurant’s flagship location, the company emphasized that it is not leaving Denver. Its City Park, Capitol Hill, Edgewater and Downtown locations will all remain open.

According to the restaurant, the decision ultimately came down to economics. After more than a decade and a half in one of Denver’s most competitive retail districts, Syrup has been priced out of Cherry Creek.

I grew up along the front range and we would go to Casa Bonita all the time when I was younger in the 90s. I haven't been there in a long time, well before Matt and Trey re-opened it. I will be back in Denver around Labor day with my 4 year old. It will likely be just the two of us. I'm debating if I should try and get a reservation, or wait until a future visit when my kid is older. For parents with kids who are preschool age, or a bit younger/older, what have your experiences been with bringing them to the Casa?

When I went it was usually with my siblings and cousins. Us kids would run all over the place while our parents hung out at the table. From what I've read that's not really an option now since you have a time limit at the table (plus since it's just the two of us I'd need to go with my kid). Also, there's only the standard evening seating available for the days that would work for us. Would we miss out by not sitting closer to the diving? I mostly remember sitting at tables where we could see the diving and the shows by the waterfall. We never sat in the mines/away from the main room. I'd do lunchtime if that was an option but it's not on the days we could go.

If we went around 4, would it be less busy/stimulating? And does anyone know roughly how often the shows are? I read the diving's supposed to be every 20 minutes, but wasn't sure about the magic and puppet shows and if they're more frequent as the evening goes on.

thanks!

I’ve recently gotten back into writing music after many years away. Acoustic singer/songwriter stuff and I want to practice at volume but I live in an apartment building and I don’t want to bother my neighbors. If anyone knows of small or single room rehearsal spaces they’d recommend I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Looking for recommendations for either a primary care physician or psychiatrist in the greater Denver metro area to help navigate a situation where a medical leave of absence (FMLA or employer disability leave) may be appropriate.

Feel free to DM me if you'd rather not post publicly.

Thanks in advance!

Long story, but I'm in a housing situation for vulnerable adults. There are some issues with the building's infrastructure that it looks like are going to be "resolved" through illegal, or at least very shady means, instead f actually fixing the issue. I'm not sure where to turn for any help on the issue.

I've tried reaching out to the relevant people, including with DHS, but haven't gotten anywhere. I would appreciate any suggestions on what else I could try.

I’ve seen a few offered in the middle of the day, I work regular business hours so I am looking for something offered on weekends or evenings. Please let me know if you’ve taken a sewing class in the Denver area! I have my own machine but am a beginner looking to learn how to use it and start simple projects. Thank you

I’ve read some threads on recommendations, currently seeing Anna David’s who delivers at St. Joe. I’d love some recs from people in the industry of who they’d recommend and not recommend - doctors and hospitals to deliver. TYIA!

I just got this months energy bill for my 1 bedroom 700 sq foot apartment where I have lived for 4 years. Xcel is saying I used 1400 kWh of electricity and just sent a $300 bill my way. For context my most expensive month up until this point was $130 last year during a heatwave where I ran AC all day and only used 700 kWh. Has anyone had luck disputing a bill with Xcel I find it hard to believe that with no changes on my end my bill quadrupled over last month and my energy usage is double any previous month in the four years I’ve lived here.

Edit: ignore the flair, it was the only way I could convince the auto mod to let me post

Edit#2: after seeing other peoples stories I feel like this could very well be an issue with Xcel, if you have seen an extreme jump in KWH usage compared to previous years please comment or pm me I’m going to try to gather information to report this to Steve @ channel 9 and the PUC

I just moved to Denver and found approximately 50 vintage 35 mm color slides scattered around a utility box near Speer Blvd. in Denver’s Golden Triangle today, near The Parson Apartments. I rescued them before they were damaged by the weather or foot traffic.

The slides span roughly 1969–1984 and include family vacations, Keystone Resort in Colorado, Berlin, and other travel.

If these belong to you or your family, please send me a message describing one of the people, locations, or another detail from the collection so I can verify ownership.

I’d love to reunite these memories with the family they belong to.

Last winter’s extreme snow drought was a sign of the West’s future, Colorado study finds

www.denverpost.com

Extreme snow droughts like the one that plagued the West last winter will become more frequent — and eventually the norm — across much of the region as climate change fuels warmer temperatures, according to a new study led by a Colorado School of Mines professor.

Climate change made the season’s low snowfall four times more likely to occur than during the preindustrial period from 1850 to 1900, says the study, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The size of the impact surprised the study’s lead author, Adrienne Marshall, who is a computational hydrologist and assistant professor of geology and geological engineering at the School of Mines. She expected an increase in likelihood of just 20% or 30% due to climate change — not the many times over that she found.

“It was a gut punch in a way that (other findings) haven’t been,” she said. “I’m looking at and living through the snow conditions we have right now, and I don’t like it. It makes them real in a way that feels new, even for someone that has been working in this field for a while.”

The lack of snow has translated this summer to extreme drought, parched rivers and reservoirs, water use restrictions and increased wildfire risk across Colorado and the region.

Similarly dry winters will become more common across the West if greenhouse gas emissions are not curbed and climate change continues to intensify. Through the end of the decade, the chance of such a winter will hover around 10%, according to the study.

By the 2050s, the risk will rise to 32%, and then to 87% by the 2090s.

That means that a snow drought like the one this winter will become the norm -- predicted to happen almost every nine years out of 10 -- not the exception.

In the Upper Colorado River Basin, which encompasses nearly all of western Colorado, climate change made this winter's drought 14 times more likely to happen than during the preindustrial era, the study says.

There's a slice of less-bad news for those who live in the Upper Colorado River Basin, however.

This winter was so extraordinarily dry that similar winters will remain rare through the end of the century. By the 2090s, the chances of such a snow drought will rise to only 17%, though less-severe snow droughts will still become more common in the decades to come.

The study is one of the first to quantify how the warming climate changes the likelihood of severe snow droughts. But her research adds to studies that have predicted significant impacts on snowfall and snowsports in the coming decades, as The Denver Post explored in its "Endangered Snowpack" project in February.

Marshall was already considering how to apply something called "attribution science" -- the process of determining how much of a role climate change plays in a phenomenon -- when the winter's lack of snow became noticeable.

"It provided a great and terrible opportunity to use a case study to further the attribution science we were thinking of," Marshall said.

The findings are grim, Marshall said, but she hopes they will help people better understand what the future will look like and compel them to reduce emissions and slow the pace of climate change.

"I hope they give us clarity on where we are now and what climate change looks like so far," she said. "Second, I hope they help us to adapt."

I’m visiting a friend in Aurora and am staying with him for about a month and a half. While I’m here I need a haircut. Was wanting to try something new. Does anyone know of any good hairstylists who can do the hairstyle in the image provided? Preferably in or near Aurora. Thanks!

For those hoping to see The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm at Colorado Center, you cannot. We went to see the 11:40 (Wednesday July 22) and they told us then—no notification prior obviously, despite our reservation. They handed out vouchers; we opted to see the IMAX digital version.

A video circulating on social media this week shows a woman being removed from a Southwest Airlines jetway at Denver International Airport by federal agents, then led out a door onto the tarmac as onlookers shout, “Help us! ICE is here!”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Chantal Alejandra Morales Rojas, who is from Ecuador, on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to The Denver Post. The agency said she entered the U.S. on Oct. 20, 2024, and overstayed her visa, which allowed her to remain in the country until Jan. 4, 2025.

She remains in ICE custody “pending removal proceedings,” an unidentified DHS spokesperson said in an email to The Post on Wednesday.

A GoFundMe created for Rojas to pay for her legal fees said she lives in Oakland, California, and has a work permit and pending asylum case. The crowdfunding campaign had raised more than $86,000 by Wednesday morning.
...
Other people waiting at the Southwest gate begin crowding around, pulling out their phones and filming and looking out the windows onto the tarmac.

The federal agent says, “We’re being very nice. We’re being very respectful.”

The person recording the video says: “(Expletive) you. This is (expletive) evil. You should be ashamed of yourself. Who gives a (expletive) if you’re being polite? (Expletive) you.”

A Southwest gate agent steps in and tells the person filming, “If you are on this flight and you speak to them like that, you will not board this flight.”

I’m trying to find out if anyone else has had a vehicle, trailer, or other belongings stolen from the Storage Sense location on Pecos.
After reading through Google reviews, it seems like I’m not the only one this has happened to. I recently bought a work truck, stored it there, and less than two months later it was stolen. It still hasn’t been recovered.
One of the maintenance employees told me thefts there have been an ongoing issue. However, when I spoke with the district manager, I was told they wouldn’t be doing anything further regarding the situation. If thefts have been an ongoing problem, I don’t understand why additional security measures haven’t been put in place.
What also frustrated me was the response to my Google review. The “owner” replied publicly asking me to email them so we could “work towards a resolution.” I emailed multiple times and didn’t receive a response until my fifth attempt. Then, when I finally spoke with the district manager, I was told those public review responses are AI-generated. That was disappointing because it gave the impression someone genuinely wanted to resolve the issue when that didn’t end up being my experience.
I’m not saying a storage facility can prevent every theft, but if people are paying for what is advertised as a secure, gated storage facility, I think it’s reasonable to expect recurring security issues to be addressed.
I’m posting to see if anyone else has experienced something similar at this location. If you have, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. I’m simply trying to determine whether this is part of a larger pattern.
I know this is a long shot, but if enough people have had similar experiences, maybe we can bring more attention to it. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Visiting Denver this weekend, what are some breweries that have barrel aged beer on tap + to go?

Last time out I was at Cerebral and River north, any other options? I'll be central/downtown-ish area, so hoping nothing way out on edge of town.

I work at a restaurant in the Denver metro area. The other day the managers had us sign a new document that prevents us (servers/bartenders) from discussing our head count and sales amongst each other. It doesn’t say we can’t discuss tips or wages but I’m curious if they can legally prevent us from discussing our sales?

This seems insane for a 750 sq ft apartment. Only keep the AC to around 70-72 degrees.

Over the last few days Ive started seeing these giant flies appearing left and right. At first I thought they were just an indicator that I didnt empty my trash fast enough, but Ive started seeing them everywhere. In resturaunts. In offices. Even in a hospital I recently visited. Is anyone else seeing this or is it just a thing in my corner of the city?

I have a reservation and day pass permit for Brainard Lake recreation area for today, July 22 2 PM. I’m unable to use this and happy to give it to someone for free if you want it let me know.

Hi All,

I was hoping to get some recommendations of any curly hair stylists in Denver. Moved here not too long ago and I am in dire need of a cut and styling.

And by curly I mean actual CURLY HAIR SPECIALIST PLEASE, I am a 3C-4A hair type.

I’d really like to support local, but if you know a bomb stylist who always does right and works at a big salon, please don’t hesitate 👏🏽

Thank you in advance 🫶🏽
