With an explosion of new bakeries, Denver is finally getting its just desserts

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:19 GMT

Shawn Bergin has risen a long way since he started baking loaves of bread and pastries out of his basement in 2019.The owner of Bakery Four started his patisserie out of his Denver home, selling naturally leavened sourdough loves and fresh croissants at pop-ups and farmers’ markets. He then moved into a 350-square-foot space in Denver’s Highland neighborhood, which garnered hour-long lines starting at 6:30 a.m. as fans waited patiently for his cinnamon-dusted morning buns and chocolate croissants made with European butter.The demand was too much for the tiny shop — Bergin could only fit about five customers inside at a time — and he began looking for a bigger space, eventually opening his existing 3,000-square-foot location, at 4150 Tennyson St., last year (a separate bagel shop, Rich Spirit, will also open soon in Wheat Ridge. But there are still lines down the block, and Bergin and his team still struggle to bake enough product to keep up.“Everything moved...

A Christmas tree tradition that starts with pierogies rather than pickles

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems). I was in my thirties before I learned about the Christmas tradition of hiding the pickle. (No, really.) You hang a pickle ornament on your tree and the child who finds it first on Christmas Day wins … something.The practice may have originated in Germany, but Poles (who love their Christmas traditions) often did it as well.We never got to find the pickle when I was growing up in a Polish family on the East Coast. Instead, my mom would change our Christmas tree decorations often: one year, silver balls and tinsel with huge pink ribbons; another year, red bows with white orbs and white beaded chains. And so on. I don’t recall ever being excited about trimming the tree as a kid; there was no emotional connection to any of the ob...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:19 GMT

(NewsNation) — The father of JonBenét Ramsey, a 6-year-old Colorado girl who was mysteriously killed in 1996, is determined to make sure alleged mistakes made in his daughter's investigation won't be repeated. John Ramsey told NewsNation's Elizabeth Vargas about a new mission: Make the murder of children a federal crime. “There was so much that could have been brought to bear to solve this crime. … Big egos and inexperienced, poor leadership ended up in a tragedy, frankly, for our family,” John Ramsey said. Book: DNA proves JonBenét Ramsey not killed by family Six-year-old JonBenét was found dead in the basement of her home on Dec. 26, 1996. Several hours before, her mother had called 911 to say her daughter was missing and that a ransom note was left behind. While JonBenét's death was ruled a homicide, no one was ever prosecuted. Currently, murder is a federal crime only in some circumstances, such as if a senator or federal law enforcement officer is killed. Family of gi...

Can CBD’s Effects Get “Dull” Over Time?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:19 GMT

View the original article about CBD Tolerance at Real Tested CBD.Tolerance is a beautiful trait to cultivate in a harmonious society. However, in the context of health supplements, the term “tolerance” has a more negative association. No matter what herb you’re using, there’s a good chance your body will get used to it after repeated uses. As you begin to build a “tolerance,” you’ll need increasingly higher doses of your supplement to achieve similar effects.Although most people talk about tolerance in relation to addictive drugs, it may also influence a person’s experience of non-intoxicating hemp cannabinoids like CBD. It doesn’t appear “CBD tolerance” is as severe as with other substances, but it’s possible.Can People Build a Tolerance to CBD Oil?Theoretically, you can develop a tolerance for any supplement, including CBD oil.

‘They are my angels’: Escaping violence and traffickers, this Colombian family is now calling San Jose home

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:19 GMT

Jasbleidy Montejo and her husband were so close to their dream of finding a new beginning — and a safer world for their six-month-old daughter — in the U.S.But after the family had made it thousands of miles from their home in Colombia, violence found them again. In San Luis Rio Colorado, a border town in Mexico, a group of men ordered them off the bus they were traveling on. They shoved them in SUVs with hoods over their heads and told them they had just three days to come up with thousands of dollars — or else. Through a stroke of luck, the couple was able to secure the money with family help and made it through Arizona — and then finally to San Jose — after crossing the border by foot.A year and a half later, the loan that saved their lives is still being paid off.Sitting in a conference room at the headquarters of Amigos de Guadalupe Center for Justice and Empowerment, a San Jose-based nonprofit that links migrants to essential services like housing...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:06:19 GMT

Q: We picked up our son at San Jose Mineta Airport at 10 p.m. two days before Thanksgiving. We waited in the cellphone lot until our son texted that he was ready for us to pick him up at Terminal B.The turnoff for Terminal B was closed off and all cars were being routed all the way around the long loop past terminal A. What should have taken 10 minutes turned into 45 minutes of terrible traffic.Are they planning to do the same thing before Christmas? Isn’t there any other way to expedite dropoffs and pickups during high airport traffic times?— Lynn McCroryA: Scott Wintner, San Jose airport’s deputy director, responded to your question. He said that what you experienced was the airport’s protocol once traffic backs up at Terminal B, and the end of the loop there becomes impassable, blocking access to Terminal A and exiting to Airport Parkway.If traffic were not rerouted past Terminal A, the backup would block entrances to nearby properties and, eventually, highway o...
