Local taco shop Wild Taco is folding in Cap Hill but will soon open in the Edgewater Public Market food hall. “At that location we got capped out, so we’re not renewing our lease and walking away from the space,” said Yoon Terry, who opened the restaurant at 215 E.

Its last day will be Aug. 10, even though its lease goes through April. “With the opportunity to open Edgewater, the brand is still staying strong,” continued Terry, who is also the chief operating officer for all the concepts…

It’s unlikely that any racket sport is going to squash pickleball, but one is increasing in popularity — and there are new places to play in Colorado. “In America, padel is just starting to get on the map,” said Colleen Campbell, coordinator of the padel program at Parker Racquet Club, which was the first place to introduce the sport to Colorado, in 2024. “Pickleball is saturated. Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world.” Padel originated in Mexico in the 1960s, and then became popular in Spain and around Europe. It’s taken hold in Florida, and is now expanding across…

Dear Eric: My husband and his siblings inherited a home. My daughter offered to move her family into one of the apartments and take care of the property. We decided on a figure that would cover the bills in the form of rent. Several years ago, she began withholding rent, she would only pay when I would ask for additional money due to a large house expense.

In the old days, Nik Bonitto’s mentor called him “Mr. Steal Your Girl” to embarrass him. Smooth. Cool. And quiet. Trainer Javon Gopie loudly bellowed Bonitto’s dubbed nickname in public settings. Gopie loved it. Bonitto hated it. On Monday, Bonitto was lounging an arm over a bench when the news of the day was broken to him. Teammate Courtland Sutton, the Denver lifer, had agreed to terms on a four-year extension. The first in a logjam of Broncos who need new deals, including Bonitto himself, just got one. And in that moment, “Mr. Steal Your Girl” turned from introvert to…

Will the next “giant leap for mankind” be made by the United States — or by our rivals? The answer may come as Congress debates the federal budget. The White House has proposed a massive 25% cut to the NASA budget, a move congressional appropriators have rejected in their recent funding proposals, but which still has the potential to dampen the U.S. economy and workforce, undermine national security, health and safety, and curtail American ambitions to shape the final frontier. In Colorado, America’s second-largest aerospace economy, we know that losing global leadership in space is a gamble the United States…

In November 2022, a month after Colorado state Rep. Hugh McKean died of a heart attack, McKean’s longtime partner called his replacement for the coming term, Ron Weinberg. Amy Parks asked Weinberg about allegations she had heard about him sexually harassing women at a prominent conservative leadership event earlier that year, Parks told The Denver Post. Weinberg denied the allegations, Parks said, and the two talked about the Loveland-based House seat that Weinberg had been appointed to fulfill as the successor to McKean, the late House minority leader. Weinberg had beat three candidates for the vacancy committee’s appointment earlier that…
