  • Resumen

  • Word on the streets of Denver: it’s the last Tuesday of April, and as always, there’s a lot going on right here in the Mile High City. I’m Morgan Riley. Today, we’re taking you through the latest local headlines, highlighting a story that’s sparking conversation across town, sharing a remarkable community effort, and rounding things out with your weather update and Denver’s best weekend events.

    Let’s get started with one of the week’s major news stories. Four individuals have been charged in connection with a lottery scratch ticket theft scheme that investigators say stretched across the Front Range. Authorities allege that the suspects used stolen tickets from local establishments, with the total losses still being tallied. It’s a sobering reminder that economic pressures can fuel creative—and sometimes criminal—attempts to get ahead. Denver police and state officials emphasized that vigilant store owners helped crack the case, highlighting our community’s role in keeping the city safe and accountable.

    Another headline catching attention: Denver’s Animal Protection is urging residents to avoid contact with wildlife this spring. As the days get longer and parks grow busier, officials have seen a rise in close encounters with everything from foxes to raccoons, increasing the risk of diseases like rabies. If you’re out enjoying Washington Park, City Park, or any favorite Denver green space, keep your distance from wild animals and give them the respect—and space—they deserve. This is one of those small actions that can keep both humans and our furry neighbors safe as the city blooms into spring.

    Now for a story that’s truly inspiring: over at a local elementary school, a group of student volunteers and graduate students from MSU Denver have teamed up to plant a greener future for Denver. They’re working with preschoolers to build new gardens and introduce native plants to the playground, fostering a sense of stewardship and curiosity at an early age. It’s hard not to smile at the idea of kids trading video games for shovels, all while learning how deep our roots run in this city’s dedication to sustainability. Initiatives like these remind us that Denver's next generation is already reshaping our neighborhoods, one seed at a time.

    After a late-season snowstorm last week brought a dusting to the metro—only about half an inch at the airport—Denver is shaking off the chill. Skies are clearing, and we’ll see sunshine today with highs in the low 60s. Looking ahead, Saturday’s forecast calls for warm, mild weather—perfect for heading out to the South Pearl Street Farmers Market or catching a show at Red Rocks. The city council has scheduled upcoming hearings on public service oversight, and there’s an art walk in RiNo this weekend, where local artists will share a mix of classic and contemporary Denver vibes.

    As we close today’s update, I’m reflecting on how Denver—rooted in its Wild West past—still finds ways to balance independence with interdependence. Whether it’s neighbors looking out for one another, green thumbs planting hope alongside new growth, or our ongoing conversations about public safety, this city shows time and again that community matters.
