from City Cast Denver · host City Cast
It’s Election Day! We’ll be back to dig into the results on tomorrow’s episode. But for now, we’re digging into a whole mess of overlooked stories: First, a mysterious rumor that Denver is home to one of the first fully automated fast food joints. Host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi take on the “Case of the Robot-Run McDonald’s” with the help of a listener. Plus, Denver has built parks on top of graveyards, but did you know we’re also home to an amusement park built on top of an old power plant? And, the days of ample, free parking near Colfax may be ending, and why a thousand passionate pickleballers got the boot from Congress Park. Here’s some of the late-breaking election news we’re NOT talking about: “Denver mayoral candidate Lisa Calderón, Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca named in campaign finance violation complaints” [The Denver Post] “Big out-of-state money is flowing to support Mike Johnston again” [Denverite] Voter turnout is looking low! [Denver Elections] Still need to drop off your ballot or you’d like to vote in person? The Clerk and Recorder’s office has all the info you need to know!
