Colorado's a flashpoint when it comes to immigration, especially Aurora and Denver, which the new administration has singled out. CPR justice reporter Allison Sherry and Denverite's Kyle Harris join a roundtable with our colleagues at "The Middle" hosted by Jeremy Dobson. Then, a milestone for construction on Colfax Avenue. Plus, a new passenger train could be on track for the mountains. And changes at Ford Amphitheater to address noise complaints as a new season kicks off. 

Many of us are probably familiar to some extent with Rahab, the Jericho prostitute who turns to God and is spared along with her family when the Israelites destroy the city. But there is much more to her story that should cause us to marvel at Gods mercy and grace, and warn us against hypocrisy. Lets go look at where we encounter her. Israel had sent out two spies to check out Jericho. They go to the home of Rahab, the prostitute, where presumably it would not be unusual to find strangers. But someone alerts the authorities and Rahab is told to turn over the men. She covers for them and hides them on her roof. A search party begins looking for them near the Jordan River. Joshua 2:8-21 8Now before[a]the spies lay down, she came up to them on the roof,9and said to the men, I know that theLordhas given you the land, and that theterror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have despaired because of you.10For we have heard how theLorddried up the water of the[b]Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, andwhat you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you[c]utterly destroyed.11When we heardthese reports,our hearts melted and no[d]courage remained in anyone any longer because of you; for theLordyour God, He is God in heaven above and on earth below.12Now then, please swear to me by theLord, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my fathers household, and give me apledge of[e]truth,13and[f]spare my father and my mother, and my brothers and my sisters, and all who belong to them, and save our[g]lives from death.14So the men said to her, Our[h]life[i]for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when theLordgives us the land that we willdeal kindly and[j]faithfully with you. 15Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall, so that she was living on the wall.16And she said to them, Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will not encounter you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way.17And the men said to her, Weshall beexempt from this oath[k]to you which you have made us swear,18[l]unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, andgather into your house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your fathers household.19And it shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house outsidewill have[m]his blood on his own head, and wewill beinnocent; but anyone who is with you in the house,his bloodwill beon our head if a hand islaidon him.20But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be exempt from the oath which you have made us swear.21She then said, According to your words, so be it. So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window. Lets think about a couple of things. First: How did God communicate with Rahab? By dream?By vision? How did she learn that Yahweh was the one true God? However He did it, we must be humbled by the love and concern God showed to a woman who was part of an accursed tribe and who lived an immoral lifestyle. Second: Think about the scarlet cord hanging out her window. Where else do we see in Scripture that a red mark protects everyone inside a dwelling? The night of Passover, when the blood of the lamb on the lintel and doorposts protected those who were inside. Here is another picture of Passover, but this one is not protecting Israelites, but pagan Canaanites! Were these Hebrew spies thinking about how their relatives had been spared from wrath by a similar process? Here is an example of faith resulting in right standing with God apart from the Law, just like Abraham, proving that God is no respecter of persons. Now we pick up in Joshua Chapter 6. Most of us know how Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, so we will skip to the relevant portion for our study today: Joshua 6:20-25 So the people shouted, and[g]the priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and thewall fell down[h]flat, so that the people went up into the city, everyone straight[i]ahead, and they took the city.21They[j]utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword. 22And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the prostitutes house and bring the woman and all she has out of there, just as you have sworn to her.23So the young men who were spies went in andbrought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives, and placed them outside the camp of Israel.24Thenthey burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold, and the articles of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the[k]house of theLord.25However,Rahab the prostitute and her fathers household and all she had, Joshua[l]spared; and she has lived in the midst of Israel to this day, becauseshe hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. Lets think about this first from Rahabs perspective. She and her family have been listening to utter chaos and terror outside her house. The screams of people and animals as they are brutally slaughtered. Then, there is, literally, a deathly quiet, and then there is a knock at the door. With great trepidation, they open the door and step out into a living nightmare. Everything destroyed. All people, all livestock, all structures. Everybody Rahab and her family knew was dead, their corpses lying mutilated on the ground. Spared, but unclean, she and her family are put outside the camp. So was Jesus. Hebrews 13:11-13 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the Holy Place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood. So then, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. Jesus has a special affinity for those who are rejected, scorned, despised by the in crowd, just as Rahab was and many others. He personally experienced that same rejection, and invites us to journey with Him to where He resides with those whom He has rescued from rejection. Back to Jericho. Imagine the terror of what Rahabs family was feeling. You are now totally dependent on these people who just destroyed your city and killed all your friends and neighbors. You are feeling not just terror, but profound loneliness and sense of loss. Imagine if Russians invaded and killed everybody in your city except you, and now you were dependent on them. What about the other side? As Israelites, you were warned to kill all the Canaanites completely, to avoid being infected with their idols. Now, what do you do with this family? Im sure some advocated to let them starve. They only promised to spare their lives from the destruction of Jericho. There were no promises about feeding and caring for them. But Rahab knew that Yahweh was the God of heaven and earth. God had somehow revealed Himself to her, and He would not see her abandoned. But she is a profound sinner, from a foreign culture, filled with idolatrous practices, living in enforced isolation. How does she become discipled, and an important figure in Jewish history? Yes. That is exactly what happens to her, but we have to fill in the details with our imagination. As with the mystery of Melchizedek, sometimes the most profound biblical stories are about whats left out of the narrative. There had to have been interaction between Rahabs family and the Israelites. Probably, there was daily interaction as more merciful heads prevailed and food was delivered to keep them alive. But that doesnt solve the problem. Keeping her alive doesnt equate to discipleship. I can imagine a godly woman provoking her husband to think about these poor people and shouldnt someone try to teach Rahab and her family about the Lord? Im sure the idea was met with apprehension at first. What if we get infected with their idolatry? No, its too risky. Too bad they werent born Jews. Time passes, but somewhere along the line, at least Rahab is discipled, probably by one of those godly wives who kept persisting until her husband acquiesced! Rahab responds and learns well. In fact, she surpasses most of the young Israelite women in her devotion to the Lord, and becomes known for her character and the radical transformation of a changed life. How do we know that? Because of something revealed in the Book of Ruth and a one-sentence reference in Matthew Chapter 1. So, lets turn our attention first to Ruth. If you are not familiar with Ruth, it is a short book packed with depth and meaning. The story centers around a family from Bethlehem, a husband named Elimelech and his wife Naomi. They have two sons, Mahlon and Chilion. A severe drought causes them to move east across the Jordan river to the area of Moab, where Naomi stays for 10 years. While there, her husband dies. Her sons marry Moabite women. But then her sons die, and she is left in Moab with her two daughters-in-law, Orpah, and Ruth. Naomi hears that the drought is gone in Bethlehem and she decides to return, and tries to convince her daughters-in-law to stay in Moab. Orpah does, but Ruth insists on going to Bethlehem with Naomi and staying with her until her death, and will worship the God of Israel. So, they return. When they arrive in Bethlehem, it is the beginning of the barley harvest, probably mid-April. How to get food? Well, Ruth goes out to glean in the common area which the landowners use, and she just happens to get connected with a man named Boaz. We need to learn something about Boaz. He is described as gibbor, which is sometimes translated as mighty man. It implies he is a man of substance and character, and when we read Ruth, we are touched by his compassion and concern both for Naomi and for Ruth. He is impressed by Ruths devotion to Naomi, and her willingness to seek shelter under Yahwehs wings. Interestingly, he is also a kinsman redeemer (Leviticus 25:47-55) to Naomi, and is willing to redeem her land including the necessity of giving her offspring through Ruth, the Moabitess. He was willing to marry a foreign woman. Boaz and Ruth had a child, Obed, who was the grandfather of David. Ruth 4:21-22. So, Ruth the Moabite woman participates in establishing the earthly lineage of the Messiah. We are told in Ruth 4:21 that Salmon (or Salma) begot Boaz. We dont know from the account here who Boaz mother is, but Matthew clears that up for us. Matthew 1:5 tells us Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, and Obed fathered Jesse. Salmon was the father of Boaz, and Boaz mother is Rahab. Interestingly, she is not referred to as Rahab the Harlot, just Rahab. She is a harlot no more. Remember, Boaz is a man of influence and character in Bethlehem. There is no doubt that Boaz character was formed in large part due to his mothers influence. She would have had to be a woman of great moral character to attract the attention of Salmon. Knowing people as we do, we can be sure that Salmon was scorned and rejected by some of his peers for marrying a former pagan harlot. That took a lot of courage on his part. And think about his parents! Lets say our son came home all excited about this woman he met at a Bible study, who had been a sexual abuse victim by her stepdad, ran away from home, wound up on Colfax Avenue in Denver, was befriended by a man who turned out to be a pimp, got her strung out on fentanyl, and trafficked her as a prostitute? Sound like something that happens every day. But she had been arrested, detoxed, came to Christ while in substance abuse treatment, and was now a very godly young woman in love with Jesus. We love to hear stories like that. But what if our son decided he wanted to marry her? Would we be accepting of her as a redeemed child of God, or would we be concerned about our familys reputation, and suggest he seek out a virgin from one of the good families from his Awanas group? What if your son said, But what about that verse in Second Corinthians Five? 2 Corinthians 5:17 If anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Is that true, or not? Do we feel the conviction of hypocrisy as we contemplate our reaction? Are we interested more in what serves Gods purposes, or being concerned about what our peer group will think? Remember, God chose Rahab and Ruth (and Tamar, for that matter) to be mothers of men in the lineage of Christ. He did that on purpose to teach us something about His mercy and grace. No doubt, Boaz own family history was a strong influence for him to so readily agree to marry Ruth the Moabitess. He knew his parents story, had heard from his mother Rahab about the pain of loneliness and rejection when they lived outside the camp, and had no hesitation to marry a foreign woman who so obviously loved God and honored Naomi. The character of Rahab may also be inferred from Hebrews. She and Sarah are the only two women named in the Hall of Faith (Hebrews Chapter 11). Rahab is also mentioned by James as an example of the works of faith. (Call up the worship team) So, who are the Rahabs in our life? The people who have a checkered past, but who are growing in the Lord? Can we see past who they were, and see what they can become as the Lord changes them? He wants us to see with His eyes, and be His hands and feet to disciple them so they can become the godly Rahabs of this generation. The main reason why I love working in the criminal justice system is that I get to participate in Gods mission of making modern-day Rahabs. To see a life in chaos become a godly man or woman is a privilege I have witnessed repeatedly over the past 35 years. Fact is, none of us come from good families. There is only one Good Family, and that consists of all of us, from whatever background, who have repented, been born again, and belong to the body of Christ. We all are new creations in Christ, and our sinsall of themare forgiven and forgotten by our Lord. May we celebrate our new beginnings every day!

Do you remember your first time on Colfax Avenue? It was probably equal parts exhilarating, interesting, confusing, and entertaining, as Denver's most famous strip tends to be. But we wanted to get to the heart of what makes a true “Colfaxian experience” — like, why does this particular street attract and inspire so much weird wonderfulness? Host Bree Davies and producer Olivia Jewell Love decided to go right to the source, calling up Ashley, the human behind Colfax Things, an awesome Instagram account devoted to the wild, wacky, and wonderful nature of the Mile High's most misunderstood place. Together, the crew builds a “First Time on Colfax Starter Pack” meme, in an attempt to distill the street's glory into prime — and hopefully, viral? — internet content.  Check out the meme we made with Colfax Things on her Instagram or the official City Cast Denver IG! Bree mentioned Nathaniel Minor's reporting for Denverite on the failure of Vision Zero, and the 42 traffic deaths this year already.  Special thanks to our sponsor, Colfax Ave, the Colfax Ave Business Improvement District. Join us for a LIVE recording of City Cast Denver this Thursday, July 20th, from 6-9 p.m. at Bruz Off Fax as part of the Colfax Ave Indie Bash!

¡Cuántas veces he oído que el coche eléctrico es lo último en tecnología! Pues es falso, el coche eléctrico es anterior al de explosión. O que los taxis urbanos deberían ser eléctricos… como lo eran en Nueva York en 1909… O que no hay camiones eléctricos … y se olvidan de los camiones españoles Autarquía. Y así, hasta 10… La Unión Europea, que quiere convertirse en adalid de la ecología, dice que hay que acabar con los modernos y eficaces coches híbridos enchufables, aún a costa de encarecer los coches y perjudicar a nuestra propia industria, al tiempo que declara “sostenibles” y, por tanto, con derechos a beneficios fiscales a las centrales nucleares y a las centrales eléctricas movidas con gas… ¿No es ésta una gran mentira? 1. Son los más modernos. ¡FALSO! Se considera generalmente como el primer automóvil el Benz 1 Motorwagen de 1885. Pues bien, en 1834, el profesor holandés Sibrandus Stratingh y su asistente Christopher Becker crearon un automóvil eléctrico alimentado por baterías no recargables. Pero cuando en 1852 se crearon las baterías recargables se dio un impulso total al coche eléctrico. 2. No eran fáciles de vender. ¡FALSO! El fabricante austriaco de carruajes Jacob Lohner, en 1890, estaba convencido que la era de los carruajes tirados por caballos llegaba a su fin y pensaba que se vendería mejor un coche eléctrico, y así fue, pues a muchos clientes potenciales no les gustaban los humos ni el ruido de los primeros coches con motor de combustión interna. El Egger-Lohner P1 capaz de alcanzar 34 km/h y recorrer hasta 79 km con una carga sería todo un éxito de ventas. 3. Tesla, la primera marca americana 100x100 eléctrica. ¡FALSO! Entre 1906 y en 1908 la Oliver P. Fritchle Company abrió su primera tienda en Colfax Avenue, Denver. Su modelo denominado “One Hundred Mile Fritchle” podía recorrer hasta 160 km en llano tras recargar su batería toda la noche. Los pedidos empezaron a llegar desde todos los rincones del país. 4. Aceleran pero no corren. ¡FALSO! El belga Camille Jenatzy con su coche eléctrico “La Jamais Contente” fue en 1899 el primer ser humano en superar los 100 km/h sobre tierra y a partir de ahí empezaría una lucha por ser el más rápido sobre ruedas. Esto demostraba los progresos del automóvil eléctrico. 5. Su cuota de mercado era baja. ¿Seguro? ¡FALSO! Ahora sí es baja, muy baja en general, pero en el año 1900 la cuota de mercado de los eléctricos en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica era de más del 25 por ciento. 6. Nunca ha habido “electrolineras” suficientes. ¡FALSO! Es una vergüenza que ahora, que nuestros políticos quieren meternos los eléctricos a la fuerza, no sea fácil recargar. Pero a comienzos del Siglo XX los automóviles eléctricos representaban el tercio del parque móvil de grandes ciudades como Nueva York, Boston o Chicago. 7. Empezaron bien, pero no se sabe porque desaparecieron. ¡FALSO! En los USA sobre todo los coches eléctricos eran muy numerosos, apreciados y tenían una importante cuota de mercado. ¿Qué acabó con ellos? No tiene ningún misterio, la causa de su desaparición tiene nombre y apellidos: Ford T. 8. Hasta el S.XXI ninguna marca había invertido. ¡FALSO! Hay muchos ejemplos, pero ¿nadie se acuerda del EV1? General Motors fue el primero de los grandes fabricantes en atreverse comercialmente con un coche eléctrico, el EV1. En realidad, era una prueba piloto en la que solo los clientes de California, Arizona y Georgia podían acceder al EV1 mediante leasing vía concesionarios Saturn. En 1996 comenzó la fabricación del EV1. Hasta 2003, se fabricaron tan sólo 1.117 unidades. 9. No ha habido camiones eléctricos. Pues sí… y españoles, entre otros. Porque después de la Guerra Civil, la situación en España era muy complicada y los carburantes para automóviles escaseaban, eran muy caros y había que agudizar el ingenio. Se usaba el gasógeno que era poco eficiente. A finales de 1942 el ingeniero militar Guillermo Menéndez de Aulestia fundó en Barcelona la marca Autarquía y consiguió que el Gobierno de España la declarase de interés nacional. La marca quería fabricar y vender exclusivamente vehículos eléctricos. 10. Los híbridos son un invento reciente. Recientísimo… de 1900. Esto es ¡FALSO! ¿Habéis oído hablar del Lohner-Porsche Semper Vivus? Hace más de 120 años Ferdinand Porsche, con solo 24 añitos, ya diseño un modelo híbrido que fue todo un éxito. Técnicamente Porsche lo que hizo fue poner un motor térmico acoplado a una dinamo que alimentaba un motor eléctrico… o sea, lo mismo que el Nissan Note e-Power que arrasa en Japón o el Qashqai e-power.. Conclusión. Estas son las mentiras “históricas” pero si os parece podemos hacer un vídeo de las mentiras “actuales”…. Pero seguro que me salen más de 10.

This coming Tuesday, employees at the Starbucks on Colfax Avenue in Denver will learn if they've voted to unionize. Their effort is part of a recent and historic uptick in worker activism across the country, driven partly by the impact of working conditions during the COVID pandemic. There are more than fifty Starbucks locations in the U.S. that have recently voted to unionize, including one in the town of Superior – the first in Colorado to do so.But pro-union employees at this particular Denver store say their efforts have resulted in backlash from the company. Nick Bowlin is a freelance journalist based in Colorado. He wrote about what's been happening in an excellent, in-depth piece that was published this week in The Guardian.Interview HighlightsThese interview highlights have been lightly edited for length and clarity.Erin O'Toole: Can you start with just a bit of a background about why employees at Starbucks might want to unionize? Not everyone is familiar with unions. I know there are a lot of myths and misconceptions about what it means to have union representation.Nick Bowlin: The workers that I talked to at the Starbucks in Denver had a couple main points. Starbucks has been historically known for having good benefits and good wages for service industry, front-of-house sort of gig. But they [the employees] say that wages have not kept up with inflation in recent years. They also are definitely motivated by some of the difficulties for service workers that resulted from the pandemic. They felt that the company wasn't protecting them when it came to keeping them safe from the virus and also from belligerent customers. Several had horror stories about customers getting angry — and at times violent — about mask mandates and about shortages in the store.They also cited a policy where Starbucks has just been raking in enormous profits in recent years. And they think that more of that should go to the people who make the coffee. They cited a policy that was proposed at the first Starbucks to unionize ever, which was December 20, 2021 in Buffalo, New York, where if a worker misses a shift, the wages from that worker will be distributed to the other baristas who are working at the time or on a short staff shift, rather than going back into their, you know, corporate profits.Many of the workers who I talked to who weren't aware of unions before, when they realized what the collective bargaining process entailed and the ability to really push for the benefits and the protections that they want, that aspect of autonomy; many of them brought that up as something that brought them around to supporting the labor organizing.You started following the effort to unionize at this Denver Starbucks several months ago. Tell us a bit about this particular store, which is on Colfax Avenue. It's known as the Barn. What is it like for employees working there?Well, first of all, it looks like a barn.The Denver Starbucks community says work there is very fast-paced. Inexperienced baristas tend not to start there. Compared to some of the suburban locations, it can be a little bit more rough and tumble. Starbucks workers at other locations tend not to pick up shifts at the Barn because it has something of a reputation. One of the baristas I talked to was punched in the face by an angry customer who was mad about the mask policy. There was this other incident where one of the baristas was pepper sprayed because they were out of frappuccinos one day.These are things that could happen at any Starbucks. But the Barn has a little bit of a reputation which gets back to the issue of workplace protections and maybe why the workers at the point were especially inclined to announce a union drive pretty early on.I have to say, one thing that really jumped out at me is that Starbucks for a long time has had this public reputation as one of the few companies that actually does care about its employees. They offer health benefits; they pay for college tuition. It's kind of hard to square this perception of a benevolent company with what's happening now to employees who want to unionize.And I think that perception is pretty common. And there's evidence of that. Like I said earlier, that's why baristas have sought out Starbucks, because they offer health benefits when not all coffee shop jobs necessarily do. They have a very robust tuition aid program. And they also have this kind of corporate culture that encourages this kind of friendly atmosphere. Every employee from management executives on down to the lowest paid barista are referred to internally in the company as partners. And this of goes along with the, you know, company culture they try to foster.But the workers say a couple of things. Just because there are benefits doesn't mean they're always the best — and they want them to be better. And they also say that if they have a union, it will be up to them to push for the benefits they want rather than, you know, the benefits coming down from on high from the company.You know, I think about one of the baristas at the Denver store named Vanessa Castro, who I spoke to and has worked for Starbucks for four years at multiple stores around the country. She's getting a college degree from Arizona State with tuition aid from Starbucks. And she said, if you start to empower employees by giving them benefits, options, resources to get to access, you don't get to choose when to stop.What happens next? You mentioned the votes for the Denver story will be announced on Tuesday. What are people expecting the results to be?That's right. The NLRB will announce the results on May 10th. All my reporting suggests that the workers are pretty confident that they have a wide margin of majority support. And then once that happens, I mean, that's a big win. But it's also just the beginning, because then they have to enter the collective bargaining agreement process. All expectations are that Starbucks is going to be very hard nosed with the bargaining. You know, the fact that they're trying to pit unionized workers against non-unionized workers with the benefit increase for the non-labor stores, I think, is evidence of how they intend to operate going forward.The National Starbucks Union is associated with one of the largest service-worker unions in the country. They have good lawyers. So they're certainly going to, you know, push back. And I definitely get the sense from the workers in Denver that they are both excited to just have the vote happen and get this, you know, this uncertain limbo period done with.Colorado Edition is hosted and produced by Erin O'Toole (@ErinOtoole1).

Ryan Meeks, Architect at Shears Adkins Rockmore (SAR+), Aaron Laird, Project Executive at Turner Construction, and Scott Hicken, AOC Executive Producer, join us episode 243 of Art  of Construction.  Meow Wolf is an arts production company that creates immersive, multimedia experiences that transport audiences of all ages into fantastic realms. Their latest permanent exhibit, titled Convergence Station, opened in Denver earlier this year. Ryan Meeks was the lead architect on the project representing SAR+, and Aaron led things as the contractor representing Turner Construction. Meow Wolf Denver is in a 90,000-square-foot building with 60,000 square feet of exhibition space, as well as a theater, dining area, retail space, lobby, kitchen, loading dock and storage. Tucked between the viaducts of Interstate 25 and Colfax Avenue in Downtown Denver, the building is certainly one of the most high-profile to be built in Denver in recent years, and with its position right in the middle of two busy freeway overpasses, caught the attention of the town. When a building like this is built in Art of Construction's backyard, we had to hear the backstory. Join Devon, Scott, Ryan and Aaron as they discuss the journey of being on a once-in-a-life-time project, everything that went in to designing and building this complex and mysterious building, how they stayed true to the art collective's grand visions while still meeting Denver's safety requirements, the open-minded and collaborative attitude such a job requires, and the magic that can happen when artists and builders are brought together with one common vision to create something for the betterment of society.

Did you know that Denver features part of the longest continuous street in the America with Colfax Avenue, which extends over 26.5 miles? That is one of Visit Denver President & CEO Richard Scharf's favorite fun facts about our city. On the latest episode of Good & Grounded, we talk with Richard about his organization's mission, the impact of the pandemic on our local economy and some of the leadership lessons he's learned over the past year.

Good Morning, Colorado, you’re listening to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Thursday April 22nd, and even though there’s a lot of turmoil right now we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you.   It’s Earth Day today and we’re talking all about recycling in Colorado.    But before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to April 22nd, 1869 when federal officials purchased a site on Colfax Avenue in Denver for $60,000. Why? To set up a facility to produce coin money. The structure they built remains in operation today. Denver’s US Mint also now represents the second largest American gold depository.   Now, our feature story.   For the 51st annual celebration of Earth Day, reporter Lucy Haggard dives into Colorado’s complete glass recycling loop, and what it could take to improve the state’s recycling rates.    To read more about recycling in Colorado, go to coloradosun.com.    And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   Northern Water will put $15 million into a trust to end a legal battle over its Windy Gap firming project and the Chimney Hollow reservoir. The reservoir will be filled with water drawn from the Colorado River Basin in Grand County and mostly will benefit 12 of Northern Water’s members, including nine Front Range cities. A coalition of environmental groups trying to stop the transfer of Western Slope water to the Front Range said they were disappointed by the court order that sent them to mediation with Northern Water. But they said the money will be used to mitigate some of the harms caused by diversion project.   https://coloradosun.com/2021/04/21/chimney-hollow-dam-loveland-settlement/   A once-in-70-years freeze in October killed one of the Western Slope’s most beloved organic peach orchards. To survive the devastating financial loss, orchardman Steve Ela is asking supporters to sponsor baby trees as he replants the Ela Family Farm orchard near Hotchkiss. He’s also warning his customers across the state that they’ll have to buy peaches from other growers this year. The official Western Slope peach forecast suggests most orchards near Palisade will have crops about 80 percent of normal.   Engineering students from the University of Colorado have won the U.S. Department of Energy’s solar decathlon with an affordable, energy efficient home they built in Fraser. The 1,200 square foot home stays cozy even when temperatures in the mountain town plummet below zero and the new owners sell extra solar energy back to the utility in their community. The house also is being touted as a model for affordable housing because its cost -- including land -- was about $300,000 less than the median home price in Grand County last month.   For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

In episode 6 of the Casa Bonita Podcast, I talk with my friend, Pam, who was there when it all began… She worked in the Casa Bonita gift shop shortly after their Lakewood location opened! Back when Pam started, the gift shop sold expensive and trendy silver and turquoise jewelry and the facility was shiny and new.  Pam wants you to know: it was *never* about the food. In addition to Casa Bonita Then and Now, we talk dogs, applying for jobs (what not to do), the infamy of Colfax Avenue, the rising cost of living in the Denver Area, and more. In the final segment, "And Another Thing," featuring my favorite curmudgeon/business partner/husband, Thomas Spahr rants in the tradition of Lewis Black on the Daily Show and Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes. This week, he rants about the way the public has repeatedly shot down smart infill projects with entry-level housing options. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/casabonitapod/message

On this day in 1895, a group of prominent women, including Mrs. Mary Stull Studebaker and Ms. Olive Tarbell Birdsell, met in a home on Colfax Avenue to form the Progress Club.

走在市中心附近的科尔法克斯街(Colfax Avenue)上，大家很难不注意到一旁双塔耸立的圣母大教堂(Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception)，这做从1902年起耗时10年兴建，法国歌德式造型的天主堂，从里到外都是庄严肃穆，富丽堂皇直到今日都有人誉为丹佛最美丽的建筑物，就连教宗若望保禄二世(Pope John Paul II)，在1993年的世界青年日（World Youth Day)也难得的在这里举办了一场弥撒。说到这个百年老教堂，就不得不提到因为泰坦尼克号(Titanic）而声名远播的丹佛名人莫莉布朗(Molly Brown）女士。您知道吗，当年这个教堂一开始的筹建基金是由丹佛的爱尔兰移民筹集的，而做为爱尔兰移民里的佼佼者，布朗夫妇当然也当仁不让，为此到处奔走。而带头筹款的布朗女士当年的一个创举，就是把1895年到1899年间曾经曾在城里造成轰动为期数日的高山平原节（Festival of Mountain and Plain）发扬光大，从1906年10月6日起，在科尔法克斯街(Colfax Avenue）和百老汇街（Broadway）的交口，举办为期一个月的万国嘉年华（Carnival of Nations），而做为移民后裔的布朗女士不单单希望借由这个活动筹款，她也希望在那个种族歧视猖炽的时代，在科州，在丹佛，在未来圣母大教堂的基石旁，借由嘉年华里的万国村，让大家了解不同种族这些年来对科州的贡献，在庆祝各种族的文化的同时，促进大家的了解和交流，再度体现美国一直以来做为民族大熔炉的精神。这是美国国会把排华期限无限期延长的第四年，也是华人被视为黄祸荼毒的年代，但科州的华人在这个活动上并没有缺席，大家走出啤酒花巷，揭开了神秘的面纱，用自己的方式，让大家真真正正的认识科州华人和中国传统文化。就算和半个世纪后那承继高山平原节的科罗拉多美食节（A Taste of Colorado）和奥罗拉万国节（Global Fest）相比，这个的活动规模都是有过之而无不及。而圣母大教堂也借由这个万人空巷的活动募集到了兴建基金，在六年后举行了第一次的弥撒，那是布朗女士遭遇泰坦尼克号船难的六个月之后，也是中国推翻帝制建立亚洲的第一个民主共和国之后的十个月。您现在也知道了科州华人与布朗女士和圣母大教堂那些年的那些事情了。

The city of Lakewood is a suburb of Denver, Colorado. There was never a traditional downtown in the city, but there was a central business area along Colfax Avenue and it became home to the Jewish Consumptives' Relief Society, which treated patients suffering from tuberculosis. When TB was no longer a threat, the property was opened as the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. The college offers a curriculum in animation, photography, graphic design, fine arts and fashion design, but it also offers something else: ghosts. There have been many reports of supernatural activity on the campus and one of the people who has experienced that is our listener Kate Wilker, who suggested this location. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Nicole Dixon and features the Seaborn Goodall House and the This Month in History features British Parliament abolishes the slave trade.

Colfax Avenue has been known as the Gateway to the Rockies, the longest, wickedest street in America, and as an ethnic melting pot. Now, it's all about gentrification. We look at what's happening today, as well as its storied history. Then, beginning July 1, companies that don't collect sales tax from consumers who buy online are required to send their sales data to the state. Next, the winner of a "Top Chef"-like competition for metalsmiths. And, John Sarmiento, also known as Meta, hated poetry as a kid growing up in Guam. Now the Denver resident is reciting poems in front of live audiences, including one at the United Nations.

And I’m certain that as soon as we walked away, they were like, “Those morons.” Brad: Yeah. To our faces it was, “Oh, good for you guys! That’s great!” As soon as we turned around, “That’ll never work.” Libby: We’ve at least had one person admit to it. Brad: Yeah. Libby: Yeah. Who, you know, probably three or four years ago came back and said, “When you told me you were gonna do this, I thought you were nuts and that would never work. And here you are.’ I’m like, yeah, see. Dave: Ten years later. Libby: Yes, yes. Brad: Ten years later. Dave: That's Libby and Brad Birky, co-founders of So All May Eat (or SAME) Café.

My name is Dave Charest and I'll be your host as we share the stories of some of the bravest people you'll ever meet, small business owners. You'll hear how they got started, their biggest challenges, and their dreams for the future. Dave: SAME Café sits on Colfax Avenue — the longest commercial street in the United States. Walk along this 26-mile street and you'll come across a variety of mom and pop shops, including independent bookstores, record stores, iconic bars, and famous bakeries. But SAME café still manages to stand out. The café's cornfield yellow walls, freshly cut wildflowers, and window tower garden take you out of the hustle of the city and into a place of comfort. Listen as Brad describes how he and Libby were first inspired to start their business. Brad: Let’s see. So Libby and I, we’re college sweethearts. We started dating when we were both in college in different states, did the whole long distance relationship thing, but we grew up within 20 minutes of each other. Our parents actually kind of knew each other. They were in similar fields. Our dads were both in road construction. Moms were both school-related workers. And so we just kind of fell into each other and started dating. And as soon as we graduated from college,

On Changing Denver this month, we look at big bad Colfax Avenue and the stories we all tell about it. Phil Goodstein, local historian, tells us how Colfax got its name and reputation. You can find many of his books at the Denver Public Library’s Western History Reading Room and you can learn more about the walking tours he leads around Denver here. If you'd like to hear the full recording of our conversation with Phil, you can listen to it here. Judith Cohen, a resident of the Chamberlain Heights, describes what life on Colfax is like today and how it’s different from what non-residents might expect. James Pachorek, owner of Lost Highway Brewing Company, explains why he themed his new brewery around Colfax and describes what it’s like opening a new business on a long-maligned strip of the avenue. - Recommended Reading: Eric Peterson’s account of a journey from one end of Colfax to the other.

Back in April 2013, The Narrators asked Denver Diatribe to take over for one night. The theme of the evening was "Colfax Avenue," a tribute to Denver's most infamous street. This week's story comes from Jared Maher, one of Denver Diatribe's co-hosts. Jared is a former investigative journalist and staff writer for Westword. In the past decade he has worked for a variety of media outlets, including Face the State and Free Speech TV. These days, he's a producer and director at Craftsy.com.
