The author used artificial intelligence in the crafting of this story. Michael Hancock isn't back the mayor's office, but to people experiencing homelessness who live outdoors it must seem like it.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Cody Roberts walked into the Green River Bar joking that he’d found a lost cattle dog. The woman tending bar that evening seemed to know what would happen next. “The bartender goes, ‘Cody, you better not bring in a fucking lion,’” an eyewitness recalled. “She knew he was going to bring something in that was not a dog.”

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone. It's hard to tell if it's true or false without personal experience, or at least whether someone in a family's long history line was treated with one of these stones.

A.I was used to create the outline for this article. The Detroit Lions have been making waves in the NFL, with quarterback Jared Goff leading the charge. However, the team's recent success has sparked discussions about the potential benefits of adding another top-tier quarterback to their roster. According to a recent report by Bleacher Report's Paul Kasabian, the Lions should consider signing free agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill as their next significant offseason move.

When homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it usually means there will be an intended purpose to keep the structure alive whether it’s through historic restoration, repurposing, or general maintenance. Sometimes, too, these places get demolished.

In recent years, many monuments have been vandalized, mocked, and in need of protection due to civil unrest about their meaning and representation. There once was a tall Civil War Monument in the front entry of the Colorado State Capitol building. What happened to that monument and why was it removed?

A few days ago, I watched an online seminar given by the National Alliance to End Homelessness. The topic was “Targeted homelessness prevention: Stemming the inflow.”. Kay Moshier McDivitt of the Alliance referred to targeted prevention as turning off the faucet of people experiencing homelessness. The problem, she said, is that no matter how fast homeless services agencies house someone, new homeless people keep pouring from the faucet. If you envision the faucet filling a bathtub, soon the tub overflows, leaving many people experiencing homelessness unhoused.

The Denver City Council learned more Wednesday about the workforce development component of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The city has transitioned the way it helps migrants, closing shelters and instead placing 800 people in the asylum program. That includes people who had been staying in non-congregate hotel shelters, all but one of which have closed. New migrant arrivals will not be eligible for the six-month work program until some graduate, according to a presentation by city staff. The city intends to keep 500 people in the work program at a time, according to Tony Anderson, workforce development manager for the city.
