Denver After Dark: From Celestial Spectacles to Slightly Less Spectacular Shootings
Hold onto your hats, Denverites (and anyone else who morbidly curious about our fair city), because last night was a rollercoaster – though hopefully not one that ends with you needing Dramamine. Let's unpack the evening's events, shall we?
A Night at the Roxborough: Now, this wasn't on the official Denver agenda, but apparently Mother Nature decided to throw a surprise light show. We're talking meteor showers so dazzling they almost made that blinking neon sign on Colfax look classy. Just kidding, Colfax, we still love you (in a weird, comforting, familiar way). Anyway, social media went abuzz with folks capturing the celestial display, some even claiming to see a shooting star that looked suspiciously like a rogue burrito.
Meanwhile, on a Slightly Less Cosmic Plane: While some were stargazing, trouble decided to rear its ugly head in the form of a shooting (the non-celestial kind) in Northeast Denver. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like a repeat of the recent string of tragedies, but one person is sadly deceased and two others are recovering in the hospital. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery, folks.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
From Shootings to Snoozings: Look, let's face it, Denver isn't exactly Gotham City. Most nights here involve more craft beer and convincing your dog that fireworks are just extra festive car alarms, not the apocalypse. So, for the vast majority of Denverites, last night probably consisted of the usual – dinner, maybe a movie, and definitely some serious Netflix binging.
But Wait, There's More! Did you know a former Denver police sergeant lost his cop certification for bad-mouthing a fellow officer's mental health and then, shocker, lying about it? You learn something new every day.
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
