Pueblo’s first food hall is finally open.Fuel & Iron Food Hall, owned by Denver real estate brokers Zach Cytryn and Nathan Stern, debuted five new food hall concepts, a coffee shop, an ice cream parlor and a bar on Friday, April 28, three years after it was first announced.“We went under contract to buy this in March 2020 and have had so many hurdles come our way,” Cytryn said. “There were nights I would second guess that this day would ever come, so to see the space turn out as beautiful as it did and full of energy, people eating, drinking and having a good time is such an amazing feeling.”In May 2020, the brokers, who previously worked for Broad Street Realty, bought the 43,500-square-foot former Holmes Hardware building at 400 S. Union Ave. in downtown Pueblo, two hours south of Denver, for $2.7 million.Cytryn said they did a multi-million dollar renovation on the property to create the 12,00-square-foot, ground-floor Fuel & Iron Food Hall and 28 income-restricted apartm...

New disruptions start for RTD’s southeast light-rail lines as maintenance work progresses

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:57:39 GMT

Less-frequent train service that started last month on the Regional Transportation District’s southeast light-rail lines will expand to more stations Tuesday as a maintenance work project progresses.The partially overlapping H-Line and E-Line, which link downtown Denver with the southeast suburbs, each will run every 30 minutes during most of the day — half of their usual 15-minute frequencies, RTD said in a news release. And a suspension of R-Line service between the Florida and Lincoln stations will continue, with regular service running north of Florida.Initial service changes took effect in early April as crews began inspecting and repairing coping panels, which are caps atop retaining walls, along the north side of the tracks that follow Interstate 25 between I-25/Broadway and Lincoln. That work started near Lincoln Station and is moving north, with completion set for October.Related ArticlesTransportation | RTD cancels purchase of 17 electric buses it do...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:57:39 GMT

The racism experienced by a family in the Douglas County School District was so egregious that it drove a 14-year-old Black boy to finish his school year online and is forcing the biracial family to move out of Castle Rock altogether, according to the family and their attorney.In March, 14-year-old Jeramiah Ganzy was so fed up with what he said was racist treatment at Castle Rock Middle School that he wrote an email to district officials. In that message, provided to The Denver Post, Jeramiah wrote that he experienced repeated instances of discrimination, including students directing racist slurs at him and teachers unfairly targeting him for discipline.“There had been a lot of bullying of people calling me a monkey and a cotton picker,” Jeramiah told The Post in an interview. “I wanted something to happen. I sent the email in anger and frustration, hoping to get a response — and I didn’t.”Jeramiah also told his mother Lacey Ganzy about a Snapchat...

Cooler and cloudier conditions are coming to Southern California with periods of light rain and drizzle, along with a low chance for thunderstorms, between Tuesday and Thursday, before drier, warmer weather moves in for the weekend, the National Weather Service forecasted.  As the late-season storm system moves southward, the chances of rainfall will increase across Ventura and Los Angeles counties Tuesday night through Thursday.  “Still high confidence in on and off rain for the area Tues-Thurs, with the peak of the rain falling Wed night-Thurs,” NWS said. “There is a 10-20% chance for thunderstorms too, and colder temps will allow for mtn snow, potentially at the Tejon Pass.”  Rainfall totals are expected to range between 0.25 to 0.50 inches along coastal and valley regions, and as much as an inch across the mountains and foothills. Snow levels are forecast to drop to elevations of 4,000 to 5,000 feet, with as much as 6 inches accumulating at higher elevations.   California...

Orange County teen develops early wildfire detection device

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:57:39 GMT

There’s a reason home smoke alarms work. Early fire detection can save lives and property. That also holds true for wildfires. “The whole key to keeping these fires small is rapid response,” said Orange County Fire Authority Chief Brian Fennessy. “So, any tool that will allow us to respond much faster is going to be key to it.”  Newport Beach 15-year-old Ryan Honary believes he’s developed just such a tool. It’s basically a smoke alarm for remote areas at risk for wildfires. The small device runs on two AA batteries and has three sensors that Ryan says can detect smoke, flames and heat.   Ryan envisions deploying the devices all around remote, fire prone areas. He says the system is designed to work even in canyons with no cellular coverage. That's because he designed it as a mesh network, where one device can send information to other devices until that information finally reaches some of his other equipment that does have a cellular signal.&...

49ers mailbag: Post-draft questions still swirl around Trey Lance, offensive line

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:57:39 GMT

SANTA CLARA — The NFL Draft is over but the 49ers’ news never stops. That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily worth alerting you to new jersey numbers for cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (No. 2) and offensive lineman Jason Poe (No. 51). Instead, this mailbag answers more pressing matters:Did any team call for a Trey Lance trade? (@54_alann)Unlike a year ago, when Kyle Shanahan said the offers for Deebo Samuel were “not even close” to market value, they didn’t disclose this time what interest Lance received. John Lynch did say before the draft there was “a lot of smoke, really” on trade calls. Lynch said it would take a significant package to move Lance, and why should they? He should be running the on-field practices right now, with Brock Purdy rehabilitating his elbow and Sam Darnold (No. 14) getting caught up to speed in a complex offense. And those trade calls for Lance should come back in October, if Purdy is a healthy QB1.I know we restructured CMC’s contract, bu...
