  • Resumen

  • Thanks for joining me in Denver, where we always find something new around every corner. I’m Morgan Riley, and here’s the word on the streets of Denver. Today, we’re focusing on stories shaping our neighborhoods, from critical city updates to the moments that bring us together as a community.

    Let’s start with the major headlines this week. Over the weekend, Interstate 70 faced significant closures due to late-season snow, sparking a flurry of finger-pointing among city officials and state agencies. Many Denverites found themselves stranded or rerouted, reminding us of the complicated dance between Colorado’s unpredictable spring weather and our daily commutes. Local authorities are reviewing the response, promising smoother operations for the next round of snow—a commitment that resonates with anyone who’s spent hours waiting out a jam on I-70.

    Turning to civic news, the Denver City Council has been busy with a packed schedule, spotlighting issues ranging from child welfare oversight to long-term improvements in public transportation. One notable initiative is a fresh push to streamline our city’s permitting process, a move city leaders hope will speed up housing projects and encourage more local business growth. Balancing regulation with opportunity has been a Denver tradition since the Gold Rush days, and it’s interesting to see how we’re still navigating those lines in 2025.

    Now for a story that’s close to home—a human interest moment from Globeville Elyria-Swansea, where a new workforce development center just broke ground. The center’s director, Marisol Hernandez, spoke about her hopes to help residents find meaningful careers and support their families. Marisol, a Denver native, grew up just blocks from the site. She described the center as, in her words, “a way for our community to rise together.” It’s a reminder that real change often starts with neighbors helping neighbors.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, there’s plenty to do around town. The Colorado Rockies are playing at Coors Field, and the Denver Nuggets have a crucial home playoff game on Saturday—catching a game at Ball Arena is practically a rite of spring in Denver. For music lovers, Red Rocks is hosting the legendary Sublime, and the 26th annual Film on the Rocks summer series has just announced its lineup, blending classic flicks with that iconic Colorado sunset. If you’re seeking something quieter, the Denver Public Library is holding a silent reading event on the N-Line Friday, offering a peaceful way to connect with fellow book lovers.

    Weather-wise, temperatures will hover in the high 50s with a few showers—a good excuse to layer up and maybe grab a warm drink at your favorite neighborhood café.

    As we wrap up, I’m reminded that Denver’s spirit lies in how we weather storms together—sometimes literally—and in the way we celebrate the small, everyday victories that connect us. Whether you’re rooting for the Nuggets or volunteering in your neighborhood, you’re part of the ongoing story of this city.
