A magnitude 4.2 earthquake shook Hawaii's Big Island on Wednesday morning, while a smaller quake centered near Kilauea volcano three hours later caused noticeable damage to buildings in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and a web of cracks and uneven road surfaces along Highway 11.

The National Park Service, which has jurisdiction of the highway between mile markers 28 and 38.5, did not close the highway, but cautioned motorists to slow down and use caution between mile markers 28 and 29, where the…

If you’ve looked east from Sloan’s Lake Park and played a game of count the cranes, you’ve seen it. If you’ve taken the MallRide from Civic Center Station down to Blake Street for a Rockies game, you’ve felt it.

But the eye-popping numbers in a new report put a fine point on it: Downtown Denver is bigger, denser and more economically alive than it has ever been, and the growth shows no sign of abating.

One thing the area is not, however, is diverse.

Here are some facts: There are 133,478 people now working downtown, an all-time high.

Knock one city off the Amazon competition list. The city of Arlington, Texas, says it’s “no longer moving forward” to land Amazon’s second headquarters. But that doesn’t make Denver’s chances any better.

And Denver, one of the 20 finalists named by Amazon in January, is still on the list, said Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. vice president Sam Bailey, who is handling the state’s bid for the conglomerate.

“We are in communication with the company and based on our communications, we’re still in full consideration for HQ2,” Bailey said Wednesday. “We have not received any information that we’re out of contention of the project.”
