1) Last week, we asked, “Where’s Kevin Now?” This week, editor in chief Dave Burdick joins Paul and photojournalist Kevin Beaty to reveal the answer: The Beloved Community Village in RiNo. Congratulations to the winners, and stay tuned for another sound-guessing game soon.

Here’s some of Denverite’s coverage of the tiny home village:

2) City reporter Andy Kenney previews city’s new master planning process for City Park, including the efforts to pull the initiative into the controversies surrounding the city’s stormwater project and the I-70 widening. Here’s Andy’s relevant reporting:
