Room with a view: 50 years of Westword offices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Westword moved into our first office on the same day we published our first issue: Sept. 1, 1977. After polishing our proposed publication that summer in the basement of a Wash Park bungalow — a house we rented for a whopping $325 a month — we thought we needed a more respectable, official address. Through a classified ad in one of Denver’s two dailies — a newspaper we planned to soon offer an alternative to as an alt-weekly — we found just the thing on the second floor of an old storefront just
First look: What's old is new again at The Fort's new whiskey library (opens the original)

Hungry for some history on National Historic Preservation Advocacy Day last week, we headed to The Fort, the restaurant replica of Bent’s Fort, a major trading post on the Santa Fe Trail from 1833 to 1849, when it was abandoned. Over a century later, the Arnold family — father Samuel, mother Elizabeth “Bay” and their daughter — packed up their home on the East Coast and left for Colorado, so the kids could grow up in the country.

“I feel like there’s a scorecard out there, and people want to give Denver’s downtown a grade or a mark,” says Meg Touborg, head of the Denver Architecture Foundation, which hosts the annual Doors Open Denver. “They want to make a judgment and put a word on it. I don’t think that static view of downtown — of any downtown, and I’ve lived all over the country — is accurate.” You can decide for yourself this week, when Doors Open Denver will offer more than a hundred tours, lectures and other progr
The future for renewable energy in Colorado looked bright in 1977. What happened? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1977, the country was high on Colorado … and not because of any tourism campaign. Instead, people were drawn to the state by all those nature-loving songs coming from John Denver, who’d changed his name from Deutschendorf to that of the state’s capital city in the 1960s, moved to Colorado in 1970, penned “Rocky Mountain High” in 1972, and became the state’s poet laureate in 1974.
