Here are the top stories today in Denver:

3. Dazzle plans to move into a new spot at the DCPA. Famed jazz club is moving from the historic Baur's building into a space at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. They've signed a new long-term lease, and hope to open the doors the new location by November. (Gazette)

5. Casa Bonita revamp hits a snag. In an interview last week, the Southpark creators that now own the historic restaurant said that rehabbing Casa Bonita is a "total shitshow."
