Main Image Photo Credit: Jeff NelsonCity elders spent a couple years debating which prominent Coloradan to name the new courthouse and detention center after. The jury room and plaza were also issues. The verdict came in a year ago and included six different people (courthouse and detention have two names each). Or you can go with what the city more generally calls the two buildings and a post office: Denver Justice Center. The post office is already open; the other two expected later this year. Pictured here: Lindsey-Flanigan ... >More
Michael Johnston, 35, grew up in Vail and attended Harvard and Yale but has focused on education in poor and minority schools. He is the first white to represent a historically black senate district in at least 50 years.

Main Image Photo Credit: Courtesy of Denver Art MuseumThis month is your last chance to view the site-specific installations that make up the Embrace! exhibition at the Denver Art Museum (denverartmuseum.org). Seventeen artists were asked to stake their claim in the Daniel Libeskind–designed Frederic C. Hamilton Building and install works inspired by its harsh angles and sloping walls — an experimental proposition from Christoph Heinrich, the DAM’s deputy director, that garnered spectacular results. The Hamilton Building has ... >More
Her name was Queenie, and if she were alive today, she would be celebrating her hundredth birthday this month. Queenie, a kitten, was the first homeless pet rescued by the Denver Dumb Friends League, which was founded by Jean Milne Gower in 1910. The distinctive name was a result of a visit to Gower’s native England, where she visited an animal shelter called Our Dumb Friends League.
With the help of four other Denver women, the Dumb Friends League was incorporated, using the home of Margaret Brady as its first private shelter. ... >More
Japanese Americans interned during World War II also wanted a U.S. victory.
T he barbed wire, watchtowers, and armed guards have vacated the 10,500 acres in southeast Colorado. So have the thousands of Japanese Americans relocated here in 1942 in a misguided government effort aimed at preventing them from aligning with Japan against their own nation.
The site looks unspectacular to the naked eye but is in fact one of the most well preserved relocation camps in the country. It still speaks to archeologists, historians, and ... >More
’80s Redux: the symphony’s backstage fight to keep the lights on
Dangling ribbons tied to celebratory ceiling balloons recently greeted a visitor to Jim Palermo’s office in the bowels of Boettcher Concert Hall. The Colorado Symphony Orchestra (CSO) president was celebrating his 50th birthday, a new musicians contract, and a radio telethon that netted the cash-strapped CSO $625,758. As orchestras around the country suffer alarming attendance declines, Palermo reports ticket sales here are up two percent, including four Boettcher ... >More
"Congratulations on an outstanding feature on health technology in the January '10 issue. The story is expertly-written; the photography superb; and the 'editorial' comment is right on target.
My organization (AMC Cancer Research Center) is affiliated with the University (its Medical School and Cancer Center). You are absolutely accurate in describing the vision for biotech and translational research. I intend to circulate your excellent article to some Colorado 'movers & shakers' to awaken them to the great promise of investment at the Anschutz Medical Center and its neighbor, the bioscience 'park.'"
