📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Lakewood who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top four stories in Lakewood today:

1. Denver is expected to see 3-6 inches of snow today. Snow will hit in the early morning, but will affect the mountains and northern part of the state more intensely. (Fox 31)
2. The Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area has ranked high in a Google trend study for layoff-anxiety. The metro area is 15th in the nation for searches including “layoffs,” “severance pay,” “recession,” “downsizing,” “unemployment benefits” and “furlough.” (Fox 31)
3. Tiny Beautiful Things is opening at Firehouse Theater Company this weekend. Artistic leader Helen Hand says, "Given the difficulties of the past few years, we are in sore need of hope that’s not flowery or unrealistic." (Westword)
4. Suncor had a vapor leak that sounded alarms but was "quickly contained." Suncor assures they are taking to this seriously as their "top priority is ensuring the health and safety of people in our workplace and in the communities where we operate." (Fox 31)
