Palizzi Farm lost a big battle at the beginning of the summer when a judge ruled a metropolitan district could run a stormwater pipe across the 95-year-old Brighton farm to support a planned housing development nearby. But tucked into the final page of Adams County District Judge Sarah Stout’s 41-page eminent domain ruling was an “expectation” from the court “that the Palizzis will be able to continue to farm on the land at the conclusion of the Project.” It’s that directive that Debora Palizzi, whose great-grandfather Antonio started the farm on East Bromley Lane in 1929, is counting on to keep the 57-acre operation running past this year.

Steer, steer on the wall; what’s the cowboyiest state of them all? Here in Colorado, we pride ourselves on our cowtown, Wild West heritage, but are we actually out there working the land in our Wranglers, or just strutting our stuff at the Grizzly Rose in our Rockmounts?

Maria Fernandez stood at the front of the room in the Sun Valley People Center, ready to make the case for a project. Gathered across five tables on a recent weeknight, around 20 of her fellow project delegates had parsed through hundreds of ideas submitted by the public that could potentially receive a share of $1 million earmarked by the city to benefit their neighborhoods in west Denver. Fernandez, 50, presented a project worth $350,000 that, if selected, would improve the Lakewood Gulch Trail by adding signage and other amenities. “We’re asking for solar lights, benches, picnic tables, trash cans, parking for bicycles, doggie waste bags,” Fernandez said in Spanish through a translator.
