According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Some lucky fans have already had a chance to listen to the album in full, thanks to ZB setting up listening parties at bars around the country that he felt embodied the spirit of the Great American Bar Scene.  And yeah... I'm very jealous that this good boy heard the songs before some of us.

The Denver City Council could decide to ask voters whether to remove the requirement that police and fire officials in the city be U.S. citizens. The Finance and Governance Committee will consider a bill Tuesday sponsored by Council President Jamie Torres and council member Amanda Sandoval. In an email to the author of this article, Torres said the Denver Sheriff’s Department already has made the switch to allow non-citizens. “In 2018, the Department of Justice found that the Denver Sheriff’s department was in violation of federal law when they required all applicants to be U.S. citizens. They have since changed their policy and now allow anyone with legal status to apply.”
