📰 News we're reading

• Nativ Hotel and Gatsby's Social closed by city … again (westword.com) — Denver has again shut down the Nativ Hotel and Gatsby's Social on Wazee Street after a string of violent incidents, licensing violations, and hundreds of complaints from the Denver Fire Department and nearby businesses. The latest summary suspension pulls the club's liquor and cabaret licenses but leaves hotel rooms open, extending a decades-long struggle to keep this Lower Downtown property operating safely and peacefully for neighbors.
   

• Denver7 Everyday Hero turns fast cars into physics lessons for justice-engaged students (denver7.com) — Students at Denver Justice High School are learning physics and math through fast cars and "Fast and Furious" examples, thanks to retired geophysicist Murray Roth and Generation Schools Network. The program supports justice-engaged youth across Colorado, tying hands-on car lessons to critical thinking skills and broader efforts under the state's Justice-Engaged Student Bill of Rights.
   

• NRA Launches Suit Aimed at Denver's Non-Resident Carry Ban (shootingnewsweekly.com) — Denver's ban on open carry, combined with Colorado's rules on concealed permits, is being challenged in federal court by the NRA and individual plaintiffs who are non-residents. The suit argues that visitors to Denver have no lawful way to carry a handgun for self-defense and seeks a preliminary injunction that could force changes to city ordinances or state permitting practices affecting anyone traveling into Denver.
