My wife and I ate the Venice Restaurant in lodo following attending the matinee of Legally Blonde.
We had a wonderful meal. It is a restaurant you should have on your list when you are in Denver.
You can see my review on Yelp.
As dispensaries pop up, Denver may be Pot Capital, U.S.A. – The Denver Post
The Denver City Council should regulate the medical pot industry and restrict where dispensaries can locate. It’s there duty.
The medical marijuana industry should have to do what any other business has to do and abide by the laws of the citizens.
I find it pretty ridiculous that there are more marijuana dispensaries in the city than there are liquor stores, Starbucks coffee shops, or public schools. I find it ridiculous especially since it is for a “medicine” that has no regulation by the FDA which manages all of our medicines.
The city of Denver must do what it can to protect all of the citizens of Denver.
Channel 4 cameraman cited at federal building – The Denver Post
Maybe the Federal Police will learn that the media is the public. There should not be a separate rule for the media and the public. If the general public is allowed in, than the media should be allowed in.
For those of you who don’t know, the media represents us, the public.
What is disturbing to me is that he didn’t even have his camera with him. He left it with the other media outside. If that is the case what is the big deal and the difference than a member of the public coming in?
This happens at the Denver Federal Center all the time. The public is allowed to go on that campus and roam without escort. They can get anywhere. But if the media is not allowed on without escort.
Even if they have an escort, the Federal Police can not allow them on or have them removed. This is not good.
There should not be a separation of the media and the public. Otherwise the freedoms that this country was built upon and many Americans have died for will cease to exist.
LG Electronics and 9 News along with Comcast, Waste Management and the city of Denver will host an electronics recycling event at five locations throughout the metro area. The event will take place from 7 AM until Noon.
Drop off locations are at the Pepsi Center in downtown Denver, Southwest Plaza in Littleton, The Orchard Town Center in Westminster, The Town Center at Aurora, and Comcast in Inverness.
They will be accepting computers, televisions, monitors, printers, fax machines, consumer electronics, phones, and other computer peripherals. No large appliances. Check the website for more details.
If you take a computer cpu down, make sure you remove all personal information from it. They will make sure it is destroyed so no on can take the data off, but it is also better you take precautions also.
Thanks to LG Electronics for paying the recycling charge.
I will be taking some things and dropping them off. I hope you do too.
Just a head’s-up to everyone out there that Denver Restaurant Week 2009 is coming. It kicks-off on February 21 and runs through February 27.
For those of you who aren’t aware, you can get a three course dinner for two for $52.80. Nearly 200 restaurants are participating this year.
My wife and I have done this for several years and we enjoy this. It provides an excellent opportunity to try new restaurants at a reasonable price.
Try it, you may like it. See my other posts on this.
I just want to say that the future of the Metro Denver/Boulder region is FasTracks.
No ands, ifs, or buts about it.
For those of you who live outside of the Metro Denver/Boulder area, Fast Tracks is the plan to add light rail and train service to the west, north, and east to Denver International Airport of the next 7-9 years. Work has even begun on the west line that parallels 6th Avenue.
The problem is that the project is conservatively $3 billion over budget.
When the proponents made the original estimates, to get the project approved through a ballot measure, they failed like many businesses and government agencies to factor in a contengency if the price escalated. And it did with the price of cement and steel going through the roof.
But what do we do now? Continue reading
I just want to say, Denver has a lot to be proud of for hosting this years Democratic National Convention.
The final event tonight came off tremendously well and looked very good on television. The speech that Barack Obama gave tonight was amazing. He came out firing with all guns blazing. The Democrats finally came out with their messages and Obama looked really good, he is a great orator.
Denver has always been portrayed as a cow town, wanting to become a big city in the likes of Chicago, San Francisco, and Atlanta. Well after this, it has moved into that status. Denver is now one of the greatest cities in this country and it the west in the minds of the rest of the country.
Something that I have always known.
Denver has a lot to be proud of. But there is one thing that need improvement.
While the Denver Police did a great job of protecting everyone, they had a lot of bad incidents that reflected negatively on Denver and the residents here. It is something they need to improve and improve quickly.
Good job Denver, you should be proud!
