Broncos fans: Skip the post-game rideshare chaos

Leaving Empower Field after a Broncos win? The rideshare lot near Ball Arena turns into a maze of crowds and confusion, with some fans waiting over half an hour just to find their ride. Even drivers say it’s tough to connect with passengers in the packed space. If you want to avoid the hassle, try heading south of the stadium or catch a pedicab to a quieter pick-up spot downtown. With staff and police on hand, safety is a priority, but a little planning can save you a lot of time (and stress). How do you get home after the game? #Transportation #BroncosCountry #Denver

Denver bartender’s wildest martini order yet

Nothing tests a bartender’s patience like a customer who can’t quite say what they want—especially when it comes to martinis. Denver’s Gabriella Masseran recently went viral after sharing her struggle with a customer who asked for a “fruity, dirty martini”—two words that don’t mix in cocktail lingo. The back-and-forth left both sides confused and sparked a huge debate online: Should bartenders be mind readers, or should customers learn the basics before ordering? If you’ve ever had a drink order go sideways, you’ll relate. What’s your take—who’s responsible for a smooth bar experience? #Food #Denver #BartenderLife

Denver bartender spills on Apple Pay privacy

Every time you pay with Apple Pay at a Denver bar, the bartender might get a peek at your phone’s wallpaper, text previews, and even your contact nicknames. Gabriella Masseran, a local bartender, admits she can’t help but notice—and sometimes judge—what pops up when she takes your phone behind the bar to process payment. From wild wallpapers to eyebrow-raising texts, she’s seen it all. This has sparked a debate: should bars have mobile readers to protect privacy, or is it on us to keep our screens clean? What do you think—would you change your phone habits after hearing this? #Tech #Denver #ApplePay

Denver nun brings hope on three wheels

A Buddhist nun on an electric tricycle is quietly changing lives across Denver’s streets. Kelsang Virya, 70, pedals through encampments, handing out food, water, warm gear, and Narcan, all while reciting mantras for compassion. Their group, Mutual Aid Monday, now feeds over 400 unhoused neighbors each week and offers a safe space for people to speak up at City Hall. Virya’s story isn’t just about charity—it’s about building trust, dignity, and community in a city where homelessness is too often met with hostility. What do you think Denver can learn from Virya’s approach? #Religion #Denver #CommunityCare

Denver mosque opens doors to all

The Downtown Denver Islamic Center is breaking down barriers by inviting everyone—regardless of background—to visit and experience their mosque firsthand. Imam Mohammad Kolila says the goal is to show that mosques are welcoming spaces, not mysterious or exclusive. With rising anti-Islamic sentiment across the country, this open invitation is a step toward building understanding and trust in the community. The mosque emphasizes safety and accessibility for all, from kids to elders and those with disabilities. What do you think about places of worship taking such proactive steps to connect with their neighbors? #Religion #Denver #Community

Park Hill neighbors push for real safety

Three cars have crashed into the same Park Hill house in just over a year—residents are fed up and demanding real change at 17th & Monaco. Despite new signs and paint, neighbors say these fixes are just a Band-Aid for a much bigger problem: cars regularly speed up to 99 mph, far above the 30-mph limit. Locals are taking matters into their own hands with boulders and flashing signs, while the city studies the intersection. What do you think would actually make this spot safer? Should the city do more, or are drivers to blame? #Transportation #ParkHill #Denver

Denver property taxes set to climb in 2025

Denver homeowners are facing a bigger school tax bill next year—even though Denver Public Schools actually lowered its tax rate. The catch? Skyrocketing home values and a surge in tax refunds (abatements) mean the district has to collect more from everyone else to make up the difference. For many, that’s an extra $192 or more, depending on your neighborhood’s reassessment. With decades of voter-approved bonds and rising costs for aging schools, DPS is locked into most of its tax rate. How do you feel about paying more for schools as property values soar? Let’s talk about what this means for our community. #RealEstate #Denver #PropertyTax
