For Nearly A Century, Golden Has Poured Root Beer Floats At This Corner Soda Fountain
Some headlines promise a frosty mug and a straw. This one hands over a shoebox instead. There are no root beer floats on this counter, and there is no century-old fountain either. The Golden at the center of this story is a sneaker label from Italy with a small corner of its own inside a busy Denver shopping center.

Smith STEAM Academy will close at the end of the school year after the Denver school board voted 4-2 Thursday to shutter it. The high school, which was modeled on historically Black colleges and universities, has just 24 students this year . Board Vice President Monica Hunter and member John Youngquist voted no. Hunter, a former Denver teacher who works for the statewide teachers union, asked about pausing the vote until an agreement granting concessions to teachers at the school could be finalized. Superintendent Alex Marrero said the school district was done negotiating. He said the two sides verbally agreed on a $1,000 payment to the teachers, plus protections for international teachers with work visas. Marrero said the district rejected other requests. Hunter said those included giving non-tenured teachers two paid days off to interview for other jobs. “The rationale is this is precedent setting,” Marrero said, “and potentially we have some more (school) consolidations coming, and it would not behoove us

Experts share why drinking in high altitude feels so different — and how you can prevent getting sick
Experts have revealed why high elevation levels can make you feel drunker Getty Images This weekend, fresh on the heels of the historic blue wave at the midterm elections, thousands of Democrats are descending upon Denver for a summit plotting the party’s next steps. It’s safe to say that the party’s politicians and strategists will be celebrating the victory while they’re there. However, travelers who have partaken in a boozy après-ski can attest that drinking in the Colorado mountains often seems to lead to a faster onset of the effects of alcohol, not to mention worse hangovers. After learning about the What’s Next conference, one X user wrote: “looking forward to witnessing the intersection of denver altitude change and dc drinking habits this week,” while another added, “Sea level people can’t drink with the mountaineers. No lie.” With Denver nicknamed the Mile High City for its elevation sitting 5,280 feet — exactly one mile — above sea level, it makes sense that people coming from Washington, D.C. or New York City might be met with the mile high effect, complete with altitude sickness. And although blood alcohol concentration technically does not change with elevation (which disproves the common myth that

The airport terminal pulsed with rising panic as the clock ticked toward kickoff. Karrueche Tran gripped her phone tighter, eyes scanning the departure board, suddenly dark with cancellations.
