• Best Places to Roller Skate Around Denver (westword.com) — Roller City on West Alameda in Lakewood is spotlighted as Colorado’s biggest roller-skating rink, with a huge floor, neon décor, and adult nights alongside kids’ parties. The guide also points Lakewood residents to other Denver-area rinks, queer-friendly pop-up events, and local skate classes and shops if you’re looking to roll into a new hobby. 
• Douglas County approves construction defect litigation ordinance (castlerocknewspress.net) — Douglas County has approved a construction defect litigation ordinance, and officials say they modeled it in part on rules already used in Lakewood and other Front Range cities.
