Here are the top stories today in Denver:

1. Colorado's outdoor industry leaders are bringing a new trade show to Denver. When Outdoor Retailer left for Utah, the State of Colorado's office of outdoor recreation recruited another show, Big Gear Show, to fill the void. (Steamboat Pilot)
2. Historic Chinatown to be honored with mural project. Monday is Denver's Chinatown Commemoration Day, and the Colorado Asian Pacific United group will announce a new mural that will celebrate the history of the Chinese community in Denver. (CBS)
3. Denver planning another round of pop-ups on 16th Street Mall. This coming spring the Downtown Denver Partnership will choose another round of businesses that will get design, marketing and permitting support to test out their concepts out with the pop-up program. (Westword)
4. Pete's Greek Town restaurant site still sitting idle. There had been a plan for the Colfax restaurant site to become a Dave's Hot Chicken location, but it looks like those plans have fallen through. For now, there's a construction fence around it, with an available sign atop the building that's a reminder of Pete Contos's long legacy, and what Denver lost when he died in 2019 at 85. (Denverite)
