Vanishing Georgia

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.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Migrant homeless encampment dwellers who have been swept from location to location by city crews finally won a reprieve Wednesday. On Wednesday, the city offered the encampment dwellers seven days of shelter instead of three, which was the original offer turned down by the campers. “It would hardly be a worthwhile respite before they would find themselves back on the streets with no support, scattered,” Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, posted on Instagram.

Cats of Kansas City

With all the crazy news we hear these days, it is understandable that people might feel helpless to make a difference. It's true that you might not be able to cure the ills of the world, but you can, quite easily in fact, make a huge, positive difference in the life of a cat. Best of all--you reap the rewards too.

The Herman H. Fortmann Building at 207 Depot Street in Marthasville, Missouri (Warren County) is 120 years old. As old as this building is, it's attractive and fun to observe. On May 5, 2006, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The small herd of bison that roams the sage hills of Hot Springs State Park near Thermopolis may not garner the same attention as its brethren near Jackson, but it has a solid contingent of local fans.

L.A. TACO

We are officially a month away from our flagship taco event, which also raises funds for our street-level journalism. To this day, TACO MADNESS remains the best one-stop shop to try L.A.'s (and the country's, if we are being honest) heaviest-hitting taquerías in one extremely fun Michelada-fueled evening.

The Alton Club was built between 1937 and 1945. It's located near Eminence, Missouri (Shannon County). The Alton Box Board Company employees and clients used this area as a summer retreat.

In my opinion, being the first taquero to unleash a new regional style of burrito into Southern California’s expansive taco universe is almost worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, especially when the results are as delicious as they are at Los De Juárez Burritos in Anaheim.

Migrants and their advocates hosted a press conference Friday at an undisclosed homeless encampment and railed against conditions in Denver.

The Denver City Council awarded The Salvation Army another $8 million contract Monday to run the Tamarac Family Shelter for people experiencing homelessness. Council members Shontel Lewis and Flor Alvidrez voted against the contract. Lewis said while the Salvation Army has made some “long overdue” promises, nothing in the contract holds them accountable to data-driven metrics. “We can’t just throw money around to solve a problem.” She added the city needs to “bake into every contract” data expectations that will be used to hold the agency accountable. She said outcomes ought to be evaluated by using “accurate, easy to understand information.”
