With thousands of people anticipating Casa Bonita’s grand reopening, fans seeking to experience the revitalized Lakewood restaurant should expect a wait. Lucky for locals, there’s a brewery in the same shopping complex that’s already preparing to accommodate the masses.WestFax Brewing Co., at 6733 W. Colfax Ave. in Lakewood, has been Casa Bonita’s neighbor since opening in the Lamar Station Plaza in 2016. Jackie Martuscello, the brewery’s marketing and sales manager, said she knows the date the eatertainment venue plans open its doors, but she can’t say thanks to a host of nondisclosure agreements she signed.What she and WestFax can do, however, is serve craft beer to people who want to gawk at the esteemed pink palace, famous for its indoor waterfall, cliff divers and sopapillas, as they speculate about what’s to come. Casa Bonita isn’t even open yet and WestFax has seen a bump in business form people stopping by to take pictures, Martuscello said.“Every day last week, as Casa Boni...The best Colorado summer festivals 2023: Your guide to live music, craft beer, food, dance and more

When the temperatures start to climb and the snow (mostly) melts from Colorado’s majestic mountains, our great state comes alive with color: vibrant blue skies dotted with fluffy white clouds, verdant green meadows, wildflowers in nearly every hue imaginable, rocky red cliffs, sapphire-blue alpine lakes and dark green pines.Many of the Centennial State’s best summer festivals take advantage of this vivid natural palette, using it as the backdrop for live music, wine, yoga, craft beer, food, dance, theater, visual art, outdoor recreation and other joyous activities that bring people together. Below we share a list of the can’t-miss summer festivals that promise fun times around the state.Music, art and live performances are meant to boost everyone’s creativity at Planet V, a Memorial Day weekend fest at Camp V near Naturita.

As the Nuggets waded through a sea of disrespect to get into their first NBA Finals, the DU women’s lacrosse team did the same en route to their first berth in the NCAA Division I Final Four.The Pioneers, like the Nuggets, are the Rocky Mountain team everybody refused to give the proper due… until the Pios went out and grabbed it for themselves with a 5-4 upset of defending champion North Carolina in the Elite Eight last week in Chapel Hill.Now in the Final Four as the nation’s last undefeated team left, No. 5 DU takes on No. 1 Northwestern on Friday at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., with a spot in the national title game on the line.Lacrosse’s East Coast old guard might argue DU’s Cinderella story has to end there. But the Pioneers are determined to match the 2015 feat of the DU men as the first western women’s lacrosse program to win a national title, despite not garnering much respect in the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches As...Rockies Mailbag: What’s Charlie Blackmon’s future?

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.Pose a Rockies — or MLB — related question for the Rockies Mailbag.Where do you see Charlie Blackmon next year?— Mark Newton, Grand JunctionMark, I honestly don’t know but don’t think he’ll be playing for the Rockies.As I’m sure you’re aware, Blackmon is in the final year of his six-year, $108 million contract. If he was having a great year, I could see Colorado trading him to a contending team this summer, as long as Blackmon was open to it. But right now, Blackmon is not producing at a high enough level to draw much trade interest.Blackmon has not said that he’s thinking about retirement, but he’ll turn 37 on July 1, and he and his wife, Ashley, have two young kids, so retirement is certainly a possibility.When I asked Blackmon in January if this was his final season, he said: “I think about everything, but I don’t really w...Opinion: Tuberville should worry less about Colorado’s “abortion tourism” and more about Alabama’s abysmal outcomes for women and children

If Tommy Tuberville, aka “Coach,” wants to prevent members of the U.S. military from having abortions in Colorado, he’ll have to become a constituent and vote here against our safe-haven abortion policies. Until then, the senator from Alabama will just have to live with the fact that he can’t control the reproductive choices of women in the U.S. military.But Tuberville is prepared to die on this hill. Citing his disgust at the Department of Defense’s “abortion tourism,” Tuberville has been refusing for months to allow the U.S. Senate to process more than 200 promotions of Pentagon leaders both civilian and enlisted.Alabama should be barred from future consideration of base expansions by the Department of Defense for this stunt. If members of the U.S. military aren’t trusted by a state’s leaders to make their own family planning and health care decisions, then the federal government should not trust those states with hosting our m...Kurtenbach: The 49ers have the best kind of quarterback problem
Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 22:48:58 GMT
SANTA CLARA — The 49ers quarterback situation is a mess.A good mess, yes, but a mess nonetheless.The incumbent starter, Brock Purdy, is coming off a serious elbow injury, while last season’s Week 1 starter, Trey Lance, is coming off a serious ankle injury. The new guy — former No. 3 overall pick Sam Darnold — is coming off stints with the Jets and Panthers, which must have been pretty gruesome, psychologically.All three have the talent to be the starter in Week 1. All three carry themselves like they will be the starter in Week 1.And while only two — Darnold and Lance — are practicing at the beginning of the Niners’ off-season training program, the fact that all three spoke at the Levi’s Stadium dais on Tuesday is a clear sign that the period between now and that Week 1 game in Pittsburgh will be all about who will be the starting quarterback.At the start of every season, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan says there will be a competition for the top quarterback job.This s...Opinion: Smartphones take a toll on teens.

:We can’t keep ignoring social media’s harmful effects on the mental health of young people.Across the world, regardless of skin color or language, people are suffering from mental health problems that are linked to the age at which they got their first smartphone or tablet, according to a new report from Sapien Labs. The nonprofit organization, which has a database of more than a million people in dozens of countries, found that the younger that people were when they got their first smartphone or tablet, the more likely they were to have mental health challenges as adults, including suicidal thoughts, a sense of being detached from reality and feelings of aggression toward others.The effects were most pronounced among girls, who spend more time on social media than boys do. The harm of the devices seems to be rooted in the 24/7 access they provide to social media.The longer that parents wait to give children portable digital devices, the better.

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO | Associated PressNEW YORK — Target is removing certain items from its stores and making other changes to its LGBTQ+ merchandise nationwide ahead of Pride month, after an intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” Target said in a statement Tuesday. ”Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”Target declined to say which items it was removing but among the ones that garnered the most attention were “tuck friendly” women’s swimsuits that allow trans women who have not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their private parts.
