-ORIGINAL REPORTING THAT GETS RESULTS-

@CBSDenver we're blessed with loyal viewers whom watch, listen & take action!

When a man's mobile home was stolen he was left homeless. CBS4 viewers kept an eye out & found it!

Because of a community coming together, WE got him back home!

In a pilot study at Colorado State University, 12 dogs with signs of dementia were given rapamycin. After the dogs died, scientists examined their brains and found in some of them fewer microglial cells, which produce inflammation associated with dementia. It was a limited, albeit positive, result. https://t.co/VCNkhUJ7yo

🌔GOODNIGHT MOON!🌖

Took my nieces to see the @DenverCenter’s production of “Goodnight Moon” last week. They LOVED it.

This was my 3rd time in recent years, and it’s equally enjoyable.

“Denver in the 4th quarter”

Either exhilarating or terrifying to hear, depending on if you’re a #Nuggets or #Broncos fan.

@JoshuaDover Yep. Seems like a nationwide issue.

Also this bro calling the game is only 28. I feel like a failed in my broadcasting career. 😂

.@CBSNewsColorado obtained records from two Northern Colorado counties.

Data showed concealed carry handgun permit applications spiked by up-to 324% at the deadline...as #Colorado prepared to enforce a new law which made getting a CHP more time consuming and costly.

Northern Colorado had triple digit rise in conceal handgun permit applications before new gun law took effect https://t.co/dOXoosSIyB
