  • Tombstone Makers Say Their Work Is Not 'Sad'

    7 Nov 2009 | 12:00 am
    Snow recently covered much of their work in this garden of stone, Linn Grove Cemetery. It's a history written in granite or marble or bronze; a family history, a country's history. These are the works of art, carved flowers or flags or stone spires or angels. Small crosses on the white stones of soldiers. A lamb on a baby's stone. "People think what we do is sad," Debbie Dalton said. "It's not. We like to think we help people."

It says its client was only carrying a guitar, not panhandling, and that even if he was asking for donations, that is protected speech under the First Amendment.

    4 Nov 2009 | 3:41 am
    The same day that Colorado insurance regulators fined UnitedHealthcare $457,000 for market violations, including failure to pay claims, the City of Denver announced that it will take $60,000 for the printing of Parks and Recreation brochure from the same company, in the midst of a high stakes national health care debate. Why is UnitedHealthcare showering Denver with cash--right now? Certainly, they want a healthier population to lower their claims, but more likely, they are searching desperately for good PR in light of a grueling policy debate. “These guides play an important role in…

    In this season of wall-to-wall debate over the future of health care, there come the staggering facts about the costs of chronic health conditions.

  • Ty Law to Broncos

    Mike Klis
    6 Nov 2009 | 12:21 pm
    Just got a tip from a trusted NFL source that the Broncos are signing veteran cornerback Ty Law. The 15-year veteran spent his first 10 seasons with the New England Patriots. Broncos coach Josh McDaniels would have worked with Law when McDaniels was a New England defensive coach from 2001-03. The team has yet to announce the roster move. The Broncos’ interest in Law may stem from the difficulties nickelbacks Jack Williams and Alphonso Smith have had in recent weeks.

  • Le Kevin Smith likely to make first start

    Lindsay Jones
    6 Nov 2009 | 11:37 am
    The Broncos have started the same 11 players on defense in the team’s first seven games. That looks like it will change Monday against the Steelers because of a knee injury to defensive end Ryan McBean. “Le Kevin Smith is our guy who is going to be starting for Ryan,” defensive line coach Wayne Nunnely said Friday morning. “He’s played, and we brought him here from New England for a reason. He’s a good football player, and now he’ll get a chance to start and get a chance to play a lot more than he has in the first seven games.” Smith, who came to Denver in…

None of the three took part in Wednesday’s workout either. Harris, who dislocated two toes on his foot, is not expected to play Monday night against the Steelers and Cherry Creek graduate Tyler Polumbus will start in his place. McBean, who has 11 tackles this season, suffered his injury late in Sunday’s loss in Baltimore, on a first-down play when the Ravens’ Ray Rice had a 14-yard gain. LeKevin Smith has…

With the temperature at 51 degrees now and a high of 56 degrees, the conditions will be perfect for the linemen on both sides. Too bad Baltimore’s stadium has a field-turf surface. Would have been a good mudder day. They don’t have mudder games like they used to. Too many field turf stadiums, it seems.

To list all of the honors and accolades “Citizen Kane,” the 1941 feature debut of Orson Welles, has received over the years would take up far more space than the list is worth. Suffice to say there’s a reasonable consensus among film critics that “Citizen Kane” is one the best films to ever grace a screen, and may in fact be No. 1. Do I agree with this sentiment?

The awning cost $125,000 and resembles the original that was in place from 1894 through the mid 1930s.  The Colorado Historic Fund provided a $35,000 grant for the project.  I think it adds even more character to the building and really gives that block a modern vintage feel that plays against the facade of Denver Union…

And, thanks to our once extensive streetcar network around which most of these historic neighborhood shopping districts arose, there are still plenty of these little neighborhood spots that haven't (yet) attained the gentrified popularity like the Old South Pearls or the Highland Squares.One of my favorite local journalists, Jared Jacang Maher, recently explored this very topic in his "Denver's Top Ten Underutilized Neighborhood Business Districts" blog post. Kudos, Jared!

  • Details on Tax Credit Extension and Expansion

    Stacie Staub
    6 Nov 2009 | 12:24 pm
    Tax Credit for Homebuyers First-Time Homebuyers (FTHBs): First-time homebuyers (that is, people who have not owned a home within the last three years) may be eligible for the tax credit. The credit for FTHBs is 10% of the purchase price of the home, with a maximum available credit of $8,000. Single taxpayers and married couples filing a joint return may qualify for the full tax credit amount. Current Owners: The tax credit program now gives those who already own a residence some additional reasons to move to a new home. This incentive comes in the form of a tax credit of up to $6,500 for…

  • Going ONCE, Going TWICE….Zoning Code 3.0

    Mark White
    6 Nov 2009 | 9:13 am
    The new Denver Zoning Code is almost a done deal.  The City Council has voted on a timeline, the public hearings are over and the new Zoning Code Draft # 3 is available for your examination and comment HERE.  There are TWO more PUBLIC LISTENING SESSIONS scheduled in November and it won’t be a surprise if that’s not all she wrote.  All of the momentum is in place to get the new code in place in early 2010.  It’s not in anybody’s interest to delay this process any further.  Uncertainty is the enemy of investment and development, and the enemy of your home’s…

  • What do you mean we’re not closing on time?

    Mic Ortega
    5 Nov 2009 | 1:36 pm
    “What do you mean we aren’t closing on time?”  A phrase that almost never was uttered in a real estate office has now become more of a standard, flying from a cell phone held out far enough to preserve an ear drum.  Talking to agents throughout the industry, it is absolutely amazing now how many closings are in fact not closing on time.  And while it can cause enough stress to send you straight to a beach in Mexico, as long as expectations are properly handled, closings are still happening every day at a surprising rate. This phenomenon of not closing on time began…

  • The House has signed off to extend the Tax Credit, now up to Obama!

    Mic Ortega
    4 Nov 2009 | 2:38 pm
    Great news from Washington today.  The House of Representatives has signed off on a bill that was approved by Senate on Monday that would extend the First Time Buyers Tax Credit to next summer.  There is still work to be done, but a bill should reach President Obamas desk for his signature later this week. Under the proposal, individuals with income up to $125,000 a year (existing bill is $75,000 a year) and couples earning up to $225,000 a year (existing bill is $125,000 a year) would be eligible for the credit.  The extension would cover homes under contract by April 30th and closed by…

  • Read/Unread on Twitter

    Alex
    4 Nov 2009 | 6:23 am
    I’ve fought it, but I knew it would happen: I now have Twitter content I somewhat care about that has a “read/unread” state; the obligation I’ve been dreading. At the moment, this is primarily @replies and direct messages1, but lists are going to join the party soon once support is cooked into the popular Twitter clients. The problem now is that I have my read/unread status decentralized since I use Twitter on about a half-dozen devices (and each device/client maintains their own read/unread state). That means I have to mark something as read a half-dozen times for the…

  • Chain Reaction

    I’ve experienced a weird and unfortunate chain reaction over the last 48 hours. A flood of comment spam Akismet not accepting connections from my server1 and/or not catching the spam The email notifications from all the spam comments sending to my mail account My mail host started blocking all mail from my server (due to the high volume of comment spam) This has presented me with a choice between receiving email and accepting comments on this site, and that’s an easy choice. I disabled comments, and once the flow of spam mails stopped my mail host seems to be accepting mail again.

  • Why two wheels are safer than four

    mike
    6 Nov 2009 | 9:43 am
    Yesterday I was buzzing around town quite a bit on my scooter. From one errand to another, for business and for pleasure, my scooter was my mode of transportation. Around the 6:00 hour I found myself in the congestion of Speer heading into Cherry Creek, a slow moving trickle of vehicles trying to make it to the next destination. Honks, distracted drivers, and running red lights seemed to be the norm. I even saw one individual take off through a red light before it went to green when the other light went to red only to have me right by their side at the next red light. What is everyone rushing…

    Snow in the plaza I do.  While others are cursing, swearing, complaining, whining, venting, ranting and raving about the misery of this snow… I’m celebrating. Of course I don’t have to drive.   Living downtown does have its perks.  But for those of you who do live downtown, and this blog definitely does focus on life downtown, you know what I am talking about. Last night I rallied up a few friends to pick a local restaurant within walking distance.  After bundling up from my heavy tread trail shoes to my smartwool cap I set out across the city to meet friends at a warm…

    AaaaaAAAARrrrrgggggGGGGGHhhhhhhh!!!  BRAINS!! That was the chant during Saturday Night’s 4th annual Denver Zombie Crawl.  I was right in the middle of it. There were a couple, maybe a few, thousand zombies in all stages of decomposition.  There were the political messages zombies (health care is dead), and the humorous zombies.  But the most common was the pure gore it up shock value horror zombies.  They came in blue, green or grey and blood red all over.  There were Zombie dancing such as Thriller or an orchestrated Zombierana (Macarena, get it).

  • Loveland opens TODAY

    7 Oct 2009 | 6:46 am
    The battle of the ski resorts to see who opens first has been won by Loveland Ski Area with their opening today, October 7th. I’ve been caught by surprise.  I was expecting an early opening, but not this early.  My skis are still up in the mountains awaiting their first coat of wax.  Most of my gear is as well, meaning any effort to take advantage of opening day would mean a drive up to the Vail Valley and then back down again (ouch).  It looks like I’ll have to pass. But that’s okay by me.  I have never been the biggest fan of the white ribbon of death days at any…

    I love running in the fall.  The leaves are changing and color the scenery around you while the cool crisp air carries the scent of autumn in on every breath. So lately I’ve been checking out the various running groups around town.  I’m a fan of the Nike night run’s and plan to start those back up this week and got a chance to join in on a meetup run this weekend.  Great groups, great people.  But I’ve been hoping to find something a bit closer to home and so many of these running groups take off from Wash Park or City Park.  I don’t blame them, those are…

  • Homebuyer Tax Credit Extended

    Gretchen
    5 Nov 2009 | 7:50 pm
    The “first-time” home buyer tax credit was extended and modified today by Congress. While there has been much debate here among Denver real estate brokers about the cost of the credit, there is no doubt that this move will help to continue to stimulate the recovering real estate market. Homebuyers will now have two tax credits available. The original $8,000 for first time buyers - actually for buyers who haven’t owned a home in the previous 3 years.  As well as a second credit available to current homeowners of $6,500.  To be eligible, buyers must have lived in their…

  • Help ~ We Can’t Find A Good House!

    Gretchen
    23 Oct 2009 | 7:59 pm
    I’m working with a lovely family who is relocating to Denver in a few weeks.  We can’t find them the right house and their move date is looming. They want to be here and settled by December. After a 4 1/2 day marathon of 56 houses, we kind of narrowed it down to two possibilities. These buyers are looking in a fairly significant price point.  Not uber high-end, but enough to buy a very nice home in a very nice location. Theirs is the price point that’s slow in Denver, and now we’ve seen everything on the market.  Either the homes were location compromised, floor…

  • Denver Colorado Real Estate | September 2009 Market Statistics

    Gretchen
    12 Oct 2009 | 8:43 pm
    In August, Denver had 20,225 active listings available on the market. In September, we were down to 19,834. With inventory naturally shrinking as we round into fourth quarter, Buyers are left with choosing a currently available home or waiting to see what might come on the market in coming months.  It’s not likely that many new properties will be listed from Halloween through the new year, and many buyers are faced with choosing between buying a home they’ve seen or waiting until after the first of the year when inventory will begin to build. Prices are up slightly from August,…

  • Earnest Money Requirements in Denver

    Gretchen
    4 Oct 2009 | 8:05 pm
    Relocating buyers often ask how much earnest money they’ll need when they make an offer on Denver real estate. My answer? “It depends.” Some brokers and sellers request 3% some request 10%.  Earnest money requests/requirements are entered in the MLS, so your Buyer Agent can tell you what the sellers have requested.  3% is more the norm for mid-priced homes, 10% is extremely high. However, for high end homes, closer to 10% isn’t too unusual. What the sellers request and what the buyers provide are not always the same amount. When you prepare an offer for a property,…

  • What the Fed Wants Buyers to Do

    Gretchen
    24 Sep 2009 | 7:16 pm
    The Federal Reserve kept the Fed Funds Rate low again yesterday in their monthly meeting.  This rate is used for banks as a benchmark for their overnight lending to each other, and is a short-term rate. Mortgage rates track with the bond market, and not the Fed Funds Rate, however, conventional wisdom suggests that the Federal Reserve governors feel that inflation isn’t yet a risk, and that rates should remain low to keep the recovery moving forward. With rates low for, “an extended period,” there should be no doubt in buyers’ minds that now is a good time to buy. …
