KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Royal Caribbean International's Empress of the Seas docked in Key West on Sunday - the first cruise ship to visit since Hurricane Irma struck the Florida Keys earlier this month. Officials said resuming cruise ship port calls is significant for the region's economy, and vital for residents whose livelihood depends on serving visitors. "Being a tourist-based economy, we need our visitors to come to town, and that is our primary economy," said Key West Mayor Craig Cates, who was on hand to welcome the ship's 878 passengers and 600 crew members. "They come here to see our beautiful resources, our beautiful town and architecture - and the servers, the bartenders, the hostesses, everybody, depends on them.

  • Will DIA’s on-site brewery ever make beer again? The answer is up in the air.
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 08:00 AM

    When Denver International Airport announced in 2015 that it was looking for a local company to build and operate a brewery inside the attached Westin hotel, it was big news. Not only would an onsite brewery highlight Colorado’s exploding craft beer scene, but it would also give DIA some cachet as one of the first and only airports to have a brewery physically located on its property. “It’s a chance to be unique and do something that someone else hasn’t done,” DIA’s then-senior vice president for concessions Neil Maxfield told Westword at the time, adding that the winning brewery would be required to make a signature IPA that would be served only at the airport. But that was one of the last times airport officials had anything frothy to say about the brewery, which has proven to be anything but a party.

    Dear Amy: I’m a 45-year-old woman, married to my wife for five years. My issue is my 21-year-old son, who lives with us. He’s a good kid but he’s now unemployed (for four months) and spends his days playing video games.

He recently applied for the police academy, but he never really follows through with anything.
