RTD plans to significantly increase frequency of G and B trains to Arvada and Westminster Trains could run every 15 minutes to Arvada and every 30 minutes to Westminster.

RTD could finally undo pandemic-era cuts to G and B train service, and juice up some bus lines too. denverite.com/2026/02/12/r...

Colorado’s population growth is slowest since 1989 as thousands leave for other states People are leaving. Guess where they’re going.

What questions would you like answered about Colorado's slowing growth rate? I'll round up answers for an upcoming piece. www.cpr.org/2026/01/27/c...

At La Vista Motel, a viewing party as crews raise another arch at Colfax & Hudson for bus rapid transit. “This is my third erection party,” a woman proudly told me.

I just saw a huge shooting star west of Denver. White sparks and everything.

A scam text, most likely generated by an AI/large language model. It's trying to draw me into a conversation and scare me into transferring money. And for some reason it's talking like a Corleone. : )

A screenshot of a scam text that reads: "Listen, fella, I'm talkin' to you straight from the yard. I'm feelin' like you're makin' a mistake, holdin' out on me like this. I showed you love, gave you a pass on that first payment, and now you're makin' me look like a schlemiel out here. $1500, that's a lotta scratch, and I'm not just talkin' about the Benjamins. I'm talkin' about respect, vet."

This has been happening for days. I know AI is making scams more linguistically advanced, but why is it talking like a movie mob boss?

Let’s ride

I have an idea.

This is the least fun kind of gambling, Jim!

Hmm, maybe 5 years old. I don’t think it’s the highest quality…

Finance people, help me…

My home insurance in Arvada is $4.5k. The perk is it still has an extremely low wind/hail deductible of $1.5k, which you can’t really get anymore.

I could get a policy for $2.4k instead, but my wind/hail goes up to $9.2k.

Is the risk/reward worth the change?

New: Denver's minimum wage will rise from $18.81 to $19.29 on Jan. 1. It's pegged to inflation. An increase of 2.6%, it's lower than the past couple years.

The tipped minimum wage will also rise from $15.79 to $16.27 per hour, which is similarly set by a formula.

Thank you!

Conditions are great, don’t worry. (Keystone last week. Other runs were less ridiculous, but it’s pretty dire.)

404 error on that one

A lot of biographies will say a dude had a “majestic” head instead of just calling it huge, which I appreciate as someone with a majestic head.

The dream of pickleball may be dead at Denver’s Civic Center gravel pit It was just too expensive in a year of layoffs and budget cuts.

Truly, the gravel pit is cursed. denverite.com/2025/12/05/g...

is the nostalgia torch being passed up to the Alt-J/Pumped Up Kicks era already?!

The lineup for Outside Day sin Denver (May 29-31) has Death Cab for Cutie, My Morning Jacket and Cage the Elephant headlining one night each, while The Flaming Lips are an opening act.

Maybe just my core millennial bias, but it's crazy to me that The Flaming Lips are opening and the 'ain't no rest for the wicked' guys headline.

Winter also wrote or co-wrote just about every significant transpo bill over the last decade. Funding, speed cameras, etc. She was a giant in that world.

What a terrible thing. Rest in peace, Senator.

Thank you kindly for doing that.

Faith Winter is why Colorado has a paid family leave program. My enduring memory: breaking the news to her that the AP had called it and the measure had passed, five years ago this month.

She was killed in a car crash today. I wish her loved ones solace and comfort. coloradosun.com/2025/11/26/f...
