At 1-5 with the worst defense in football and an inconsistent offense, Payton has vowed to fight tooth and nail to dig his team out of the hole they have put themselves in.Even though the odds are stacked against Denver, Payton remains optimistic that the Broncos can turn it around. Could this be typical coach speak? Sure, but Payton’s hope is inspired by last year’s Detroit Lions team that started the season 1-6 before winning eight of their last 10 games and finishing 9-8.That momentum has carried into 2023, as De...

Denver looks to lease, potentially buy, another hotel for homeless shelter

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:21:57 GMT

The City of Denver intends to lease a 300-room hotel in northeast Denver to use as a homeless shelter, with an option to purchase the property for 60 percent more than it fetched a year ago.A City Council committee was set to be briefed Wednesday on the tentative deal for the hotel at 4040 N. Quebec St., which currently operates as a Doubletree by Hilton. But the committee postponed the discussion a week after another agenda item took longer than expected.Denver has shown an interest for years in housing the homeless in hotels, and that desire has increased under Mayor Mike Johnston, who assumed office in July and has vowed to house 1,000 people by the end of the year.The 175,000-square-foot Doubletree building just south of Interstate 70 in the Central Park neighborhood has 300 hotel rooms as well as large conference rooms, a full kitchen, laundry facilities and outdoor pool. The city said it could fit 450 beds. Rooms for the middle of next week start at $109, according to Hilton’s...

Hip Cantonese spot opening with Chinatown-style dumplings, Sichuan noodles and an unabashed love for MSG

Kenneth Wan and Doris Yuen stood in the doorway of their new restaurant this week, catching oranges from a lion dancer while cymbals and drums banged away in the background.In Chinese culture, the lion dance is a way to consecrate temples and new businesses. The lion, a costume with two people handling the head and tail, “eats” an orange and spits it back out. It’s good luck for whoever can catch it. Luckily, Yuen and Wan had good grips that evening.“Blessing a restaurant is very traditional for Chinese culture, and we thought it’d be a cool way to make an announcement to the neighborhood that we’re here,” Wan said.Yuen and Wan are opening MAKfam, their first full-service restaurant at 39 W. 1st Ave., next door to Snooze’s new South Broadway location, on Nov. 1. Formerly called Meta Asian Kitchen and located inside the Avanti Food & Beverage market hall in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood, MAKfam stands for Meta Asian Kitchen. The couple celebrated with friends and family ...

Looking to fill out our kitchen with top-of-the-line cookware? Costco has you covered.The wholesale retailer is offering a 157-piece Le Creuset set for about $4,500.While some might have sticker shock at that price, the package is actually a steal.

"Worth it?"But if you're looking to never buy kit...

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio has failed to clinch the House speakership in three rounds of voting, and the gap is growing wider.On Friday, 25 Republicans voted against his candidacy – far more than the handful he could afford to lose given the party’s narrow majority in Congress.

The exception, Doug LaMalfa, voted for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on the first ballot and Jordan on the second and third.Besides ousted speaker Kevin McCarthy, another of the California delegation got a vote: Mike Garcia, from Santa Clarita, was chosen on all three ballo...
