Take a look at Raycon's about page, and you see a company that bills itself on offering high-quality audio without the expensive price tag. To the company's credit, the Raycon Everyday Earbuds Pro are significantly cheaper than Apple's $249.99 AirPods Pro and Samsung's $229.99 Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, but "pro" doesn't actually tell you anything when it comes to buds.
A new brewery with a familiar name is now open in Fort Collins.
This week, Verboten Brewing and Barrel Project debuted its second location at 1611 S. College Ave., in the space formerly home to Black Bottle Brewery. It will host a grand opening the weekend of May 3, said co-owner Josh Grenz.
Verboten took over Black Bottle’s lease in February and Grenz has since been working on a “cosmetic remodel” to update the bar tops, table tops and chairs.

Dear Amy: I have a neighbor who was previously convicted of a sexual offense involving a “child.” He served time in jail.
I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I do understand that the term “child” may include a person as young as an infant and as old as a teenager.
The sexual offender is married with two young children.
I know that he and his wife want to keep his history private.
However, the other neighbors around where I live are not aware of the situation and their kids play and interact with the sexual offender’s family.
Do I need to inform the unknowing neighbors about his status as a sex offender, or should I remain silent?
I’d appreciate your advice.
— Uncertain
Dear Uncertain: You don’t say how you know about this offense, but you should take it as a given that these neighbors don’t want others to know that he is a convicted sexual offender.
