Dumpling pizza is now a thing in Denver. Will it catch on?

Gyoza pizza probably isn’t something you’ve seen — or eaten — before. But it is, in a way, exactly what it sounds like: a deconstructed dumpling that uses fried gyoza dough as the crust and an assortment of traditional (and not-so-traditional) dumplings, fillings and sauces as toppings.“People here in America love dumplings … we serve a lot of gyoza at (Daughter Thai),” said Ramintra Korkerd, the manager of Gyoza Pizza. “You guys also love pizza. So, we thought about combining (them) together. It looks like pizza, it’s the same idea.”For instance, Spicy Tobiko Gyoza is made with a water pan-fried crispy skirt gyoza, along with a cheese blend, spicy mayo, a tobiko and seaweed sprinkle, shitake mushrooms, and pork, or chicken. It is served with sweet black soy sauce, cilantro ginger sauce and chili oil.The concept is the brainchild of the owners of Daughter Thai, a popular four-year-old restaurant in the River North Art District. But Gyozo Pizza operates entire...Colorado has more than 332,000 homes susceptible to wildfire damage, report says

A wet year may have provided a mental reprieve, but Colorado continues to have more homes at risk from wildfires than any state besides California, according to the Wildfire Risk Report from CoreLogic.And within Colorado, metro Denver and Colorado Springs, not communities high up in the mountains, are where the largest property losses are most likely to occur.CoreLogic, which provides risk estimates to insurers, utilities and local governments, estimates that 332,716 homes in the state have a moderate, high or very high risk of damage from wildfires. Rebuilding those homes, if they were destroyed, would cost an estimated $140.9 billion.The only state with a higher wildfire exposure to its housing stock is California, with nearly 1.28 million homes at risk and an estimated replacement value of $760.8 billion. Texas has the third-highest wildfire risk ranking with 233,434 homes at risk and a reconstruction cost of $85.5 billion.Although rural mountain communities have long dealt with ...9 dog-friendly spots in metro Denver that will keep your pup’s tail wagging

Dogs may very well outnumber Denver residents these days (especially after the surge of pandemic puppies). And after a ruff day, there are a lot of people who don’t want to choose between unwinding with their human friends at a bar or spending time with their best canine pals.There’s a reason those ”puppy dog eyes” always win.“When we would get home from a long day at work, our dogs were always excited to see us,” said Manuel Baca, co-owner of Littleton’s Coal Mine Ave Brewing, which has an off-leash dog area for customers. “And we’d feel guilty leaving them at home if we met up with friends. So we thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be ideal if we could walk our dog to a brewery where they could enjoy themselves while we enjoyed some craft beer?’”Luckily, Denver is the most dog-friendly city in the country, according to a recent survey, and although the rules differ in each of the cities and towns that make up the metro area, there are plenty of places where pooches can ...Video shows thunderstorms move into Southern California

Long ago in a wine cellar deep below the waterline in San Francisco Bay, Tony Bennett broke out into his beloved signature song as he visited Forbes Island, a then-popular floating restaurant near Pier 39.It was Bennett’s birthday, and he and another friend came to the human-made island to tour it, recalled its builder and then-owner, Forbes Thor Kiddoo.“I was showing the wine cellar, and then he just started singing, ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco,’ and so I let him finish because he’s got a wonderful voice and it’s a famous song,” Kiddoo said of the impromptu intimate performance.“We’ve had so many parties and so many great times,” he recalled of the floating island’s former glory days.Not that all was smooth sailing for Kiddoo, who built Forbes Island by hand, launching it in 1979 in Sausalito. After living and working there for decades, the Brooklyn native ran into trouble with a state commission that made him move his self-propelled concrete and steel island.

Myroslava Fisun, 17, always wanted a seat at the table. Whether it was pollution in the San Francisco air or plastic in the water, witnessing the effects of climate change made her feel scared. But she wasn’t going to let that fear stop her from fighting to save the planet.“When I just started my environmental advocacy, it was hard to connect with organizations as a youth because they were like, ‘Oh, but do you have the 10-plus years of professional experience?'” Fisun recounted. “And it’s like, ‘No, but I’m still an environmentalist.'”After Montana District Court Judge Kathy Seeley ruled Monday in a historic youth-led Montana lawsuit that the state’s approval of fossil fuel projects violated their right to a “clean and healthful environment,” Fisun feels relieved — and energized to keep the momentum going.“Now that young people are influencing policy, now that policy around climate is starting to ha...‘How can we survive?’: Labor talks worry deaf-school teachers in Fremont

FREMONT — High school teacher Ty Kovacs flipped through photo boards on a recent morning at the campus library at the California School for the Deaf in Fremont, stopping and pointing at a picture taken of the school’s basketball team in the late ’80s.“That’s me,” said Kovacs, who wore No. 32 for the California School for the Deaf Eagles and graduated from the storied school in 1989.Now, Kovacs fears the school’s future is at risk as teachers and staff bargain with the state for pay raises they say are desperately needed to keep up with the Bay Area’s high cost of living and fill positions as more and more educators consider leaving for competitive wages elsewhere or retiring.“The school is going to be shut down,” he said, adding that the result would amount to “cultural genocide” because of the services the school offers deaf students.Bargaining teams with Service Employees International Union Local 1000, which ...Editorial: California should ban tackle football in high school

Every parent whose child plays tackle football should be aware of the newest study of the risks.Medical researchers for decades have known of the link between boxing and Parkinson’s Disease. The sad decline of Muhammad Ali is the most prominent example of the devastating impact of a disease that currently afflicts an estimated 500,000 Americans.Now a study published Friday by Boston University researchers working with the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research shows that participants with a history of playing organized tackle football have a 61% greater risk for Parkinson’s Disease or disease-related symptoms. The longer an athlete plays, the greater the risk. Those competing in college and the NFL had nearly triple the odds of later developing Parkinson’s compared with those who played only youth or high school football.The findings add to the growing case that tackle football should be banned at all California public schools.At the very least, t...San Jose office building tumbles into loan default for second time
