Here are the top stories today in Lakewood:

  1. South Park creators have spent a ton of their own cash trying to revive Casa Bonita. Nearly a year into their purchase of the iconic Casa Bonita, Trey Parker and Matt Stone acknowledge that they had no clue what they were getting themselves into when they bought it, but they confirmed that they've got the resources to see the project through. (7News)
  2. NFL approves Walton-Penner Group to be the next owner of the Denver Broncos. It's official, team owners voted unanimously to approve the $4.65B purchase of the vaunted football team. A price that set a new record for any professional team. (CBS4)
  3. Will Dozier is gonna eat green chile every day for a year. Even his wife thinks he's crazy, but that's not stopping the data analyst from eating green chiles every day during 2022. (Westword)
  4. City of Lafayette has year-round water restrictions, will other municipalities follow suit? Last June, the City of Lafayette announced their plan to limit water use across the city, focused primarily on outdoor consumption.
