🌱 Tennyson Street Is Dead + OnBeatVintage's Sustainable Fashion

The quickest way to get caught up on the important things happening in Denver today.

Good day, people of Denver! It's me again, Brad K. Evans, your host of the Denver Daily.


Tuesday's weather: Mostly cloudy. High: 55 Low: 26.


Here are the top stories in Denver today:

  1. The Tennyson Street we knew is dead. While there are still some charming spots in that part of town, as well as a significant number of the Italian and Hispanic families that have been there for generations, but things have definitely changed, including the cost. (Westword)
  2. Even fashion can be sustainable. OnBeatVintage takes Denver by storm with rare and sustainable pieces, even their online orders are shipped in compostable packaging. (303 Magazine)
  3. Bridge funding infrastructure money on the way to Colorado. With 481 bridges in poor condition across the state, Colorado is set to receive $45 million this year and an additional $225 million over five years as part of the program. (Newsline)
  4. Better late than never. Did you know that more than 680,000 people in Colorado have left college without earning a degree? There's an effort underway for Colorado residents that have some college credits under their belt to cross the finish line in an effort to meet the state's workforce needs. The state launched the Finish What You Started program in 2021, set up to assist people to go back to school and complete their degree.(CPR)
  5. It's been 20 years since snowboarders were finally allowed on Aspen Mountain. Prior to 2001, the arguments on Aspen Mountain was that snowboarders were dangerous, and brought with it the undesirable "knuckledragger" crowd. (CO Sun)

Doing a "Dry January" or just looking for a flavorful alternative to regular cocktails? Here's a suggestion: try a non-alcoholic drink from our partners at Betera. Created by an award-winning chef from natural botanicals, Betera's drinks come in 3 flavors — Ginger-Orange, Elderflower-Lime and Rhubarb-Hibiscus. We tried Ginger-Orange, and it was excellent — lightly effervescent, floral with a hint of bitterness and the sippability of a cocktail.

Betera is offering readers of the Daily a 15% discount on their first order: use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — you can try Betera here.
