But whether you want to avoid Amphitheatre prices, grab some takeout for the tailgate, skip primetime traffic, or just plan ahead for a special evening (or early morning), consider these eight spots in Denver, Golden and Morrison for your next dinner and a show at Red Rocks. The Fort The Fort, which celebrated its 60th anniversary this year, has a special concert night menu with quick easy items, like buffalo ribs or grilled quail, to...
Generations of mystics and monks have described the desert as the place to find God. The closest I’ve come to finding God is in rivers. You’ll hear it before you see it: the raucous chatter of birds, the burbling of the river as it rushes past. Follow the noise until you crest a hill, round a corner, and there it is, shocking in its lush emerald after so much dusty, scorched orange and brown. As you get closer, you’ll smell it too—that particular riverine odor of wet mud and green shoots. Flycatchers swoop low over the waters, dragonflies hover and hum in the air, cottonwood leaves flash their pale undersides in the bright sun. Rivers are life-bringers, life-creators, the deepest...

The settlement is a significant milestone in the competition watchdog’s ongoing investigation into alleged bread price-fixing in Canada. It comes as record food prices fuel consumer discontent with Canada’s food industry and fan distrust of grocers. It also shines a spotlight on the Competition Bureau’s ongoing investigation into the role of other companies, including Metro, Sobeys, Walmart Canada, Giant Tiger, and Maple Leaf Foods. “Fixing the price of bread — a...
Everyone expected chaos. Since March 2020, the government had been turning away asylum seekers en masse without processing their claims under Title 42, a pandemic-era public-health policy. On May 11, the policy expired. President Joe Biden warned of coming disorder; Republican Representative Tom McClintock predicted that up to 700,000 illegal migrants would “bum-rush the border”; The New York Times dispatched correspondents to the Southwest in advance of an “anticipated surge.”That surge never materialized. The Times reported “few signs of disorder” on May 12; “fear and confusion, but not chaos,” NPR wrote, noting that one prediction of more than 150,000 migrants waiting at the border “may have been overblown.” The following week, the Biden administration announced that unauthorized border crossings were...
