Should the two historic “Frankenstein mansions” on Franklin and East Colfax – badly damaged by a fire following years of neglect — be demolished or should Denver’s preservationists prevail in their demands the homes be restored to their former glory?The truth is that little remains architecturally on the 130-year-old buildings worth salvaging, and that was the case even before the Wyman Historic District was designated in 1993 to save a neighborhood full of stately mansions of historic value. Like bulky monsters constructed in an ad-hoc manner from bits and pieces, storefronts had been added to the homes in 1938 to…

For artist Elizabeth Alexander, beauty is a tool for subverting domestic order.Her new exhibition at K Contemporary is, no doubt, lovely to look at. The objects on display, all referencing home decor, unfold in lush, floral wallpaper patterns, delicate dinner ware, refined furniture pieces.Elizabeth Alexander alters plates and cups to spotlight the way domestic items reinforce ideas of class in the U.S. (Provided by K Contemporary)Like many of the highly-tuned exhibits K Contemporary produces, Alexander’s “The Good Ones” is a fully immersive experience. This is not just a show, it is a 360-degree, walk-through environment that transforms the gallery into…

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems.)This is a story about pizza toppings. My favorites. Your favorites. And Giles Flanagin’s favorites.But before we can talk about what goes on top, we’ve got to lay down some information about what goes on the bottom at Blue Pan Pizza, which Flanagin co-founded in 2015 with pizza chef Jeff Smokevitch. That begins with the dough, which is proofed, stretched…

If all goes according to plan, ambulances will leave Lutheran Medical Center every four to six minutes over the course of nine hours Saturday, ferrying an anticipated 180 patients across Wheat Ridge to the hospital’s new $680 million home.After more than a century in the same spot at 8300 W. 38th Ave., Lutheran Medical Center is moving four miles down the road, to a newly constructed 620,000-square-foot facility at 12911 W. 40th Ave., on the western side of Interstate 70.The all-day convoy of ambulances will cap more than two years of planning with consultants who had previously overseen hospital moves.…

Dear Eric: For the past 10 years, my husband and I have enjoyed dining out with a couple of our friends, always splitting the check evenly.Recently, we embraced sobriety and no longer consume the expensive drinks that significantly add to the bill. Despite this, we continue to split the check evenly, which doesn’t seem quite fair.We value our friendship and enjoy our time together, but we are unsure how to approach this topic. We don’t want to look cheap, but we also want to be fair. Is it weird, rude or impolite to request that we each pay for our…

The University of Colorado’s School of Medicine is the first in the country to shift entirely to a new way of training doctors, with the hope of producing graduates who more naturally see patients as the center of the health care system.In the typical medical school model, students spend one to two months learning the basics of a specialty, such as psychiatry or pediatrics, before rotating to the next one. In CU’s “longitudinal integrated clerkship” model, students work under experienced doctors in multiple specialties at the same time, said Dr. Jennifer Adams, assistant dean of medical education overseeing clinical clerkships.For…

DENVER — About the only time Randy Gradishar ever disappointed his teammates was when he first arrived in Denver as the Broncos’ first-round draft pick in 1974.Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the man Ohio State coach Woody Hayes called “the best linebacker I ever coached,” were members of the budding “Orange Crush” ensemble that would soon join Minnesota’s “Purple People Eaters,” Dallas’ “Doomsday” and Pittsburgh’s “Steel Curtain” as one of the predominant defenses in the NFL.Gradishar and nose tackle Rubin Carter, drafted a year later, would become the twin pillars of the “Orange Crush” defense that served as the Broncos’…

Bad stuff happens to the Rockies in San Francisco.Case in point: In the sixth inning of Sunday afternoon’s game at Oracle Park, Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon tagged Derek Hill for what should have been the third out. Instead, the impact of the tag dislodged the ball from McMahon’s glove.McMahon’s error loaded the bases, and Matt Chapman delivered a two-run single on Noah Davis’s next pitch to put San Francisco ahead, 5-2.The Giants held on to win the game, 5-4, swept the four-game series and beat the Rockies for the 12th consecutive time at Oracle Park. That ties the franchise…
