DENVER (KDVR)-- The independent Denver music venue, HQ, reopened its doors after a burst pipe forced them to shut down on Aug. 15."The grand reopening was such a positive vibe so many people came by just to say high five and we're so glad you're back and just hang out and celebrate us being back open," said co-owner Scott Happel.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:18:58 GMT

(CNN) — Eleven cases of Listeria infection have been reported in seven states in an outbreak linked with peaches, plums and nectarines, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday. One person died, and a pregnant person who became ill went into early labor.Three cases were reported in both California and Florida, with other cases reported in Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio.

HMC Farms has recalled peaches, plums and nectarines sold in stores between May 1 and November 15 last year and this year. The stone fruit was sold individually and in 2-pound bags.The CDC advises anyone who has recalled fruit to throw it out a...
