Denver’s Got a New Music Venue! Plus, Trump’s Portrait Replacement and a Flock Camera Fail
from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
The Federal Theatre joins Denver’s list of vintage movie palaces turned music venue after the folks behind The Oriental Theater recently announced they were taking over the space. Could this be a new catalyst for more business along this Northside strip? Then, after President Trump complained that his portrait at the state capitol was “truly the worst”, it was removed — but legislators and History Colorado are trying to decide if the paintings should be replaced by something different altogether. Host Bree Davies is joined by Westword editor in chief Patty Calhoun to dig into these stories, plus producer Olivia Jewell Love pops by to share listener comments on everything from flock cameras to witchcraft. Bree talked about the Federal Theatre’s fundraiser to get the old venue running again and our episode with conservative talk radio host Jeff Hunt. After our show with Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas, listener Fiona had questions about other police departments having access to Denver’s flock camera data. Patty mentioned Governor Polis’ “Colorado 150 Bridge”. For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.
