Pizza is emotional.Ask a pizza lover about their favorite pizza place and prepare for a short lecture on the superiority of the crust, the perfection of the cheese blend, and the sauce ratio.Bring up their beloved childhood pizza parlor and you might induce a misty-eyed reminiscence about the smoky spot they visited every week with their grandpa, or warm memories of personal pan pizzas and giant, red Coke cups at Pizza Hut.Don’t get anyone started on New York versus Chicago-style pies unless you crave culinary violence.For Brett Freedman, owner of DTC Slice at 8000 E. Belleview Ave, in Greenwood Village,…

Snow that started falling across Colorado on Sunday night will continue Monday morning before a second round of winter weather moves in on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.As of 6 a.m. Monday, the Rocky Mountains — including Breckenridge and Copper Mountain — had reported more than a foot of fresh snow, according to NWS snow totals.A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for Colorado’s mountains above 9,000 feet until 11 a.m. Monday, according to NWS forecasters.The mountains could see another two inches of snow stack up by the time the warning expires, forecasters said in the weather alert.No…

When ballots are tallied Tuesday night, a handful of House and Senate seats will determine whether the imbalance of partisan power in Colorado reaches a level not seen since World War II.Democrats, who already hold trifecta control of both legislative chambers and the governor’s office, stand one seat shy of a two-thirds supermajority in the Senate to mirror their current supermajority in the House — if Democrats in that chamber can keep the gains they made in 2022.But Republicans also see an opportunity to claw their way out of the political wilderness. They need to flip only three seats that…

Volunteering with Ignite Adaptive Sports at Eldora Mountain Resort used to involve more than serving long hours in sometimes numbing cold, snow and winter winds to help people with disabilities learn to ski and snowboard. It involved backbreaking effort, too.The physical burden will be lightened this winter thanks to Eldora’s new Caribou Lodge, half of which will serve as the new home of Ignite Adaptive Sports. No longer will volunteers have to push adaptive athletes in sit-skis 300 feet up the mountain to reach the lifts that Ignite athletes use most often. An elevator to the third floor will take…

BALTIMORE, Md. — In a matchup against the Broncos’ toughest opponent to date, Bo Nix showed glimpses of the franchise quarterback Denver hopes it drafted, but not near enough to keep up with Lamar Jackson and the high-flying Ravens.Denver’s rookie QB made plays with his arm, caught Baltimore’s defense slipping at times with his legs and even had a leaping touchdown grab. But Nix’s performance on Sunday was littered with a handful of missed throws and poor execution on fourth down — all of which contributed to Denver being on the losing end of a 41-10 game at M&T Bank…

By MATT BROWN and FREIDA FRISAROMIAMI (AP) — Concerts and carnivals hosted at polling precincts. “Souls to the Polls” mobilizations after Sunday service. And star-studded rallies featuring Hollywood actors, business leaders, musical artists and activists.Such seemingly disparate efforts all have a single goal: boost Black voter turnout ahead of Election Day.How Black communities turn out in the 2024 election has been scrutinized due to the pivotal role Black voters have played in races for the White House, Congress and state legislatures across the country.Vice President Kamala Harris, who if elected would be the second Black president, has made engaging Black…

Dear Eric: I sing as a volunteer in a church choir. Because I can sight-sing, was trained as a musician, and can sing alto, the music director likes it when I come.For me, singing is “work,” not “fun” but the music director is very nice, and the choir members are very warm and kind people.What I don’t enjoy is that one of the newer members wears very strong cologne, and I am allergic to it. If I forget to take an allergy pill before church, I cough during the entire service and sing about one quarter of the notes. If…

As children in backpacks laughed and ran past their apartment, Sorali Leon and Manuel Ledezma readied their three daughters for school.Like he does every day, Ledezma took the children from the family’s Whispering Pines apartment in Aurora and dropped them off on his way to a local junkyard, where he works as a mechanic. After they left, Leon cooked while, outside, laundry fluttered on the balcony above a patchy brown yard.“Everybody here is very friendly,” Leon said in Spanish. She stirred a pot of sopa de mondongo, a vegetable soup, on her stovetop as the family’s white dog, Fluffy, watched.The Venezuelan…
