Caroline Glover doesn’t necessarily consider Annette a fine-dining restaurant because of its bare wooden tables and laid-back atmosphere, but “I do think our style of hospitality is very geared towards fine dining whether or not you realize it while you’re sitting there,” she said.James Beard Award-winning chef Caroline Glover alongside husband and co-owner Nelson Harvey at Annette in Stanley Marketplace in Aurora on Nov. 21, 2023. (Photo by AAron Ontiveroz/The Denver Post)Her customers and fellow restaurant industry folks — not to mention accolades, like the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Mountain Region — definitely realize it.“I absolutely consider Annette fine dining,” said Denise Mickelsen, a former food writer who now works for the Colorado Restaurant Association. “Colorado is known for being rather casual. Even our fine dining restaurants don’t need linens on the table to define themselves as fine dining.”Ten or 15 years ago, fine dining in Denver was...Colorado’s best winter festivals for 2023-24

As Coloradans, we don’t simply endure or tolerate winter. We embrace it.Sure, we could all just hunker down and hibernate through the snow and ice. Instead, we gather with friends around bonfires. We ski. We marvel at ice sculptures. We play games. We watch live music. We climb icy waterfalls.In Colorado, we welcome winter like an old friend. And perhaps nowhere is that sentiment more true than at the many diverse festivals dotting the state from December to April. So, as you make your plans for winter fun, add one or two or more (!) of these beloved annual gatherings to your list.A crowd gathers around a large bonfire at the 56th annual Ullr Fest in Breckenridge.

Q: Thank you for your recent column on pedestrian safety, especially the advice to “Look left-right-left.” I just returned from a vacation in India, where they drive on the left side of the road, so am in the habit of looking in both directions before crossing the street.I live in downtown San Jose, which has many one-way streets. In the last week, I was almost run over three times by cars going the wrong way. The only thing that saved me was that I looked in both directions before crossing. Cars driving the wrong direction have no stoplight facing them, so even though I have a green crossing signal, they careen through the intersection. They’re often driving fast because they realize their error, are panicking and trying to find a place to turn around.Related ArticlesTransportation | Why has price of hydrogen fuel jumped so high?

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 13:47:40 GMT
Stacks of wooden pallets, vehicles, trailers, storage bins, appliances, RVs and equipment all crowd the Interstate 580 underpass in West Oakland, corralled by a tall black metal gate. A sign declares “State Property, No dumping, No Parking, No Trespassing.” Another advertises “Yard space for rent! Trucks, RVs, buses, large equipment and more.”The site near Emeryville is among more than a dozen Bay Area under-freeway spaces that the California Department of Transportation flagged for immediate reinspection after a similarly crammed storage area under Interstate 10 in Los Angeles erupted in flames Nov. 11.That massive blaze, believed to be arson, ignited on an adjacent storage yard. The flames, so intense they spread to the roadway above, closed the vital artery that carries more than 300,000 daily drivers for eight days and put a spotlight on Caltrans’ program of leasing storage space on right-of-way land under and alongside state highways.And it isnR...Modern earthquakes in US could be aftershocks from quakes in the 1800s, scientists say

By Allison Chinchar | CNNAfter large earthquakes, there is an expectation that aftershocks could occur in the hours and days that follow, but aftershocks from some of the strongest earthquakes in recorded United States history may still be happening — nearly 200 years later, new research has found.Frequent aftershock activities stemming from a trio of quakes that occurred near the Missouri-Kentucky border between 1811 and 1812, and a separate earthquake in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1886, are likely continuing today, according to a study published recently in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.One of the regions researchers focused on, called the New Madrid seismic zone, encompasses present-day Memphis and the surrounding Mid-Mississippi River Valley area, and the other includes Charleston and the surrounding coastal plain. Seismic activity in these relatively stable regions of North America is not well understood, and its nature is debated among scientists, the st...49ers-Seahawks preview: What you need to know for Week 14 rematch

SANTA CLARA – The 49ers’ birdwatching tour resumes this week with the familiar sight of Seahawks.Yes, the 49ers just scoped out these NFC West rivals on Thanksgiving Night and won 31-13 in Seattle. That division rivalry offers enough motivation to avoid a letdown after Sunday’s 42-19 titanic triumph over the host Philadelphia Eagles.After this Sunday’s visit by the Seahawks (6-6), the 49ers (9-3) face two more feathered friends – Dec. 17 at the Arizona Cardinals, Dec. 25 against the Baltimore Ravens — before a stretch run as empty nesters, so to speak.The 49ers are on a four-game win streak, and none was bigger than walloping the NFC-leading Eagles to pull within one game in the race for the No. 1 playoff seed.On the flip side, the Seahawks are on a three-game losing streak, with each of their past two losses coming on Thursday nights, the last being a 41-35 defeat at the Dallas Cowboys (9-3).TOP STORYLINESNEWFOUND ACCLAIM: Well look who’s the Super Bowl favorite: the 49ers.
