Here are the top stories today in Denver:

  1. Developer proposing to demolish the Garts' Washington Park mansion. It will be interesting to see whether the desire to preserve Denver's traditional single-family homes wins out over those pushing for more density in Denver's core neighborhoods. (Denverite)
  2. Sancho's Broken Arrow to permanently close as part of deal after repeated liquor license infractions. The city of Denver has apparently reached a settlement with the 22-year-old bar on Colfax, at least according to former owner Jay Bianchi. (Local Today)
  3. Denver's real estate market is cooling off, higher mortgage rates part of the equation. Interest rates hit the highest they've been in almost 20 years, and some say that it is cooling off Denver's overheated real estate market. (Denverite)
  4. School co-founder banned from all Denver Public Schools properties. Brandon Pryor has been banned from DPS property and was dismissed from coaching youth football this week. His supporters are demanding that DPS drop the ban that stemmed from complaints that the school board has received about Pryor's in-school behavior. (FOX31)
