Today's riddle: I'm a rock group with 4 members; one member was assassinated. What am I? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Here's how much Denver water bills could rise in 2027 (denverite.com) — Denver households could see average monthly water bills rise about 5.7% in 2027, with typical city bills climbing from roughly $57 to just over $60 if proposed rate changes are approved. Denver Water is also weighing higher drought surcharges to fund projects like Gross Reservoir expansion and lead pipe removal, with a board vote expected in October and new rates starting January 1, 2027.
2. Community rallies to keep Denver's nearly century-old Nob Hill Inn open amid BRT construction (9news.com) — A beloved nearly century-old Colfax bar in Denver has avoided closing, at least for now, after community fundraising brought in nearly $20,000 to cover legal costs, repairs, and equipment. The Nob Hill Inn is still struggling with reduced access and customers during Denver's Colfax BRT construction, but a new payment arrangement and local support are giving staff hope they can preserve this piece of the city's history.
3. Denver Museum of Nature and Science volunteer discovered T. rex tracks in North Dakota (krdo.com) — Denver Museum of Nature and Science scientists have confirmed the first-known trackway made by an adult Tyrannosaurus rex, discovered by one of their volunteers in North Dakota's Hell Creek Formation. The 23-foot-long series of massive three-foot footprints is expected to arrive in Denver this fall, giving local visitors a rare chance to see these historic tracks up close.
4. Pueblo Memorial Airport offering new early-bird flight to Denver International Airport (krdo.com) — Travelers flying between Pueblo and Denver International Airport will soon have a more commuter-friendly schedule, including a new 6 a.m. "early-bird" departure aimed at making morning meetings and connections easier. A 9 p.m. return from Denver back to Pueblo is also being added, part of changes city officials say should make PUB a more practical jumping-off point to over 100 destinations via major airline partners.
