$2.85M Colorado house with link to John Denver hits market for first time

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:26:00 GMT

A home in Morrison designed by the same architect behind John Denver’s Starwood home in Aspen is available for the first time since it was built in 1975 for an asking price of $2.85 million.The listing at 7558 S. Turkey Creek Road includes a 7,062-square-foot home with five bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half-bathroom. It also includes five parcels covering over 75 acres in the foothills near U.S. 285, about 30 minutes from downtown Denver.“To find that unique buyer we have to cast a wide net. It is a cool opportunity,” said Matt Bachus, co-owner of the Tupper’s Team at Madison & Company Properties in Evergreen, which has the listing.The property is vintage mid-1970s design with lots of interior oak finishes, skylights, carpeted bathrooms and a fireplace built with stones from the property. While acquiring a “time capsule” might appeal to some buyers,  remodeling costs will probably be part of the financial equation for most.The archite...

Broncos roundtable: Dan Campbell, Sean Payton or somebody else for NFL coach of the year?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:26:00 GMT

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: Please take your seat at the roundtable and you shall have your voices heard. It’s mid-December. The Broncos are playing meaningful football. And they’re going into a Saturday night, prime time tilt against the Detroit Lions with plenty on the line. Denver’s 7-6 and, really, the most important thing is to win the three remaining AFC games on their slate after this weekend. But a win in the Motor City could still be the difference and it could put the division more realistically in play if Kansas City stumbles any further (although, the Bengals are the best team left on the Chiefs’ schedule). Here’s the topic for today: Lions coach Dan Campbell is a Sean Payton protégé and also the odds-on favorite for NFL coach of the year. Can Payton press him for it? And, if not one of these two former Saints, then who? A couple of rookies in DeMeco Ryans (Houston) and Shane Steichen (Indianapolis) have been impressive and, uh, h...

City Controller’s Office Critical of LAPD Helicopter Expenditures

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:26:00 GMT

The Los Angeles City Controller’s Office audited the LAPD’s use of helicopters and criticized the department for its use during “non-high priority” situations.According to the audit, every flight incurs costs of $2,917 per hour of use, roughly adding up to $46 million per year, a total more than the budget of 14 city departments. The office concluded that 61% of helicopter use came in “non-high priority” crime and accused the department of disproportionately using them in some communities over others.“Our city’s investments in public safety account for a significant portion of our annual discretionary budget,” Los Angeles City Controller Kenneth Mejia wrote in a letter to Mayor Karen Bass and the city council. “The audit was launched in response to calls from community members and organizations who requested more information regarding the costs and performance of LAPD helicopters.”Mejia continued, stating that the LAPD Airlift Support Division (ASD) “causes significant harm to the c...
