Here are the top five stories today in Denver:

  1. Annual watering restrictions kick in for Denver on Sunday. These watering rules go into effect on Monday, May 2. Rules include not watering your lawn between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and not watering it more than three days a week. (CBS4)
  2. Even houses that are referred to as a 'total disaster' are selling fast. I remember a not so long ago era when we couldn't find any buyers for houses. Today's real estate market is, for lack of better words, crazy. (FOX31)
  3. Denver 2023 Municipal Election: Another candidate announces their plan to run for one of two open, at-large seats. Meet labor and civil rights attorney, Sarah Parady. (Denverite)
  4. Can you believe it? Derby, Colorado is the most affordable community in the Denver area. Well, it was until this story came out. With rising prices finding the best place to buy is the challenge. (CBS4)
  5. Denver's StarFest calling it quits after 45 years. Denver's original convention for all things Star Trek, sci-fi, fantasy, horror was the city's first media-oriented convention, focused mainly on TV, film and comics. (Post Independent)
