A 'City of the Future' Is Being Built Around One of the World's Busiest Airports
One of the biggest and busiest airports in the country may soon be more than just an airport — it may be a hub for a thriving “aerotropolis.”. If you’ve ever flown into Denver International Airport, you probably know it’s not actually in downtown Denver. It’s about a 45-minute drive from the airport to downtown Denver with no traffic, or you can take a $10 train ride from the airport and reach downtown in about the same time. That means there’s lots of undeveloped land around Denver International Airport, even though it’s one of the busiest airports in the world.
Denver gets TONS of complaints about July 4th fireworks. We issue very few citations.
Most fireworks are illegal in Colorado, but you wouldn't know it if you've ever stood atop Ruby Hill on the Fourth of July. From there, any observer can see that the surrounding neighborhoods — nay, the whole city — erupt with color and flame on the big day. People who live nearby know the chorus of booms and bangs have been growing as the holiday inches closer.

Check out these highlights of Broncos rookie WR Devaughn Vele
With their second-to-last pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos selected wide receiver Devaughn Vele in the seventh round. Vele (6-4, 210 pounds) played college football at Utah, drawing comparisons to Broncos receiver Tim Patrick. “I’ve heard things even while at Utah,” Vele said of the comparisons to his new teammate. “[He’s] a great player, and I try to model my game after all of the greats. It’s good to have someone that I can look up to and get under his wing.” Broncos coach Sean Payton has praised Vele for his steady hands and ability to bring down contested catches. The rookie will have positional flexibility in Patyon’s offense. “We have visions relative to when we see him as a guy who can play big outside [at] ‘X,’ and then come in in the slot,” Payton said. Check out highlights from Vele’s time at Utah below: Competing in a crowded WR room, Vele won’t be a lock to make the active roster this summer, but he should be able to make the practice squad. The rookie receiver is set to report for training camp on July 17.
