Retiring On Social Security Alone Is Actually Possible In This Affordable Colorado City

Let’s be honest about something: the phrase “retire comfortably in Colorado” has started to feel like a punchline. Denver’s housing market has made national headlines for all the wrong reasons, mountain towns have priced out the people who actually work in them, and the general vibe around Colorado retirement planning has become one of resigned acceptance that it’s simply not going to happen.

Colorado Shoppers Keep Returning To This Enormous Salvage Warehouse For Its Finds

The shelves and yard hold billboard vinyl, decommissioned fire hose, and retired highway guardrails. Military cargo parachutes have even shown up,...

Colorado Farm Markets Worth Visiting Before Thanksgiving For Fresh Holiday Ingredients

One Colorado farm stand sells bison, veal, and pheasant right alongside its squash and roasted chilies. I did not expect a produce market to double as a game counter, and I love that surprise. The fun keeps going across the state. One family farm has been growing vegetables since 1949.

10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants close in 4 states as franchisee files Chapter 11

Out West Restaurant Group closed 10 Outback Steakhouse restaurants in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Nevada before filing for Chapter 11. Few moments unsettle a regular diner faster than pulling into a familiar parking lot and finding the windows dark and the doors locked. Casual chain restaurants hold a particular place in American routines. Families book them for birthdays, teams pile in after weekend games, and tired couples treat them as dependable fallbacks when nobody wants to cook. A shuttered location erases one of those habits without warning. The loss leaves nearby guests wondering whether their own favorite spot will go next. Workers lose the shifts they counted on. Each closing ripples past the people who used to order dinner there.

Amy Parsons to be paid $1.1M in resignation settlement | Exclusive

Colorado State University has agreed to pay President Amy Parsons $1.1 million for her resignation, the Coloradoan learned through an open-records request. Parsons formally announced her resignation Oct. 28 , six days after she and CSU System Chancellor Tony Frank signed a resignation settlement that requires the payment to Parsons be made, “minus any necessary withholdings,” by no later than Jan. 5, 2027. Parsons’ resignation will become effective Dec. 31, 2026, according to terms agreed to in the settlement that amended the five-year contract she signed when she was hired that would have continued through Jan. 31, 2028. Her annual salary is $686,238, according to the university's online compensation report . The settlement releases Parsons, Frank and the CSU System and its Board of Governors from any obligations that were contained in her original employment agreement. "The terms of President Parsons’ agreement reflect the remainder of her contract, which ran through January 2028, plus the equivalent of five months of salary in recognition of her significant achievements and long-term service to CSU," according to a statement from the CSU System that was shared with the Coloradoan by spokesperson Tiana Kennedy after this story's initial publication.

Energy analyst: Data center moratoriums scare off developers

(The Center Square) - As more Colorado local governments implement temporary bans on data centers, developers are better off looking elsewhere, according to an energy policy analyst. Sarah Montalbano, who researches energy and natural resources at the Denver-based Independence Institute, said these recent decisions by Fort Collins and Littleton are “coming out of a broader trend in Colorado where cities and municipalities” are deciding their own rules about data centers. This week, Fort Collins and Littleton both approved a six-month temporary moratorium on data centers. At least 16 local governments in Colorado have adopted temporary moratoriums on new data centers, including Denver, the state’s largest city. The moratorium gives the impression that Colorado doesn’t want data center developers, Montalbano explained. Ginny Sawyer, Fort Collins City Manager Kelly DiMartino’s assistant, told The Center Square that the city council implemented the moratorium to give it “time to pause potential applications and see what regulations [it] might want to put in place.” Fort Collins, a city of around 175,000 people, raised concerns about data centers’ use of water and electricity, as well as lighting and noise, she noted. The city’s ordinance says the data center moratorium lasts until April 6, 2027. Sawyer said

Step Inside This Denver Shop And You’re Suddenly Back In The Neon-Lit ’80s

Somewhere on South Broadway in Denver, there is a small shop holding thousands of toys you probably begged for at age eight. He-Man figures, Care Bears, Transformers and old trading card packs fill the shelves, and many of them still look ready for Saturday morning cartoons. The shop has been around for years without much advertising, and locals keep coming back because the stock keeps changing.

For too long, Aurora has been a destination for too many investors of rentals who, sadly, have neglected to maintain their properties. Their actions, or inactions, have created pockets of blight throughout much of our city with the problem being more concentrated in older Northwest Aurora where too many of our residents live in slum-like conditions.
