2010Slides — Snow, Then Rocks — Wreak Havoc on Colorado Roads

Berthoud Pass closed briefly; Glenwood Canyon will be shut for a while
An avalanche on Friday night caused the closure of U.S. 40 over Berthoud Pass. The snow was cleared off the road by Saturday morning, so it was business as usual for skiers and riders heading for Winter Park. A rockslide in Glenwood Canyon around midnight on Monday morning will take longer to clean up — to say nothing of road and bridge repairs.

2010Frontier Airlines’ Endangered Species

Lovable talking critters on airliners’ tails threatened with extinction
When Cininnati-based Republic Aviation took over Frontier Airlines last summer, it promised financial health without changing the name or doing away with the talking animals painted on aircraft tails that inspired one of the better advertising campaigns on television. First, Republic RIFfed the Frontier office in Denver, and more recently, rumors developed that Frontier’s name and mascots would go away too.

2010Henry Moore Sculptures and King Tut Treasures Coming to Denver

Botanic garden and art museum hosting two blockbuster exhibitions
Henry Moore was a 20th century British sculpture who is best known for his large, abstract bronzes found in important public spaces around the world, including opposite the British Parliament in London, the plaza in front of Toronto’s City Hall, in front of Berlin’s Kongresshalle, outside of Australia’s National Gallery in Melbourne and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Tutankhamen was a youthful 18th dynasty Egyptian pharaoh who ruled in the 14th century B.C. and inspired some of the most exquisite, intricate bejeweled pieces that the anonymous craftsmen of the Nile ever produced. Both are coming to Denver — the Moore exhibition this week, King Tut’s treasures this summer. I’m excited about both and hope the both locals and visitors to Colorado will see them.

Denver International Airport at 15 — looking back and looking ahead
Sometime at the end of February 1995, I flew out of Stapleton International Airport en route to, I think, Honduras. I returned to the new Denver International Airport, which had opened on February 28 while I was away. If an airport could have had a new-car smell, DIA would have had it. As I look at the photo below, I count 16 small masts or antennae atop the main terminal’s distinctive Teflon tents — one for each year and one for good luck.
