What is happening to Huston Lake? The southwest Denver body of water has almost completely dried up, taking with it some of the park’s flora and fauna and leaving neighbors concerned. Regular contributor and host of the Square State podcast Michelle Jackson joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi to dig into the sorry recent state of Denver’s park lakes. Plus, they discuss the sci-fi series “Paradise,” why the Mile High City seems to be a perfect setting for so many fictional alternate realities, and answer listener questions about RTD and Denver Summit FC.  What do you think about Huston Lake drying up? We want to hear from you! Text or leave us a voicemail with your name and neighborhood, and you might hear it on the show: 720-500-5418 Paul quoted from Carl Abbott’s article about sci-fi “Rocky Mountain Refuge” and recommended Patricia Limerick’s history of Denver Water, “Ditch in Time.”  Michelle talked about Epic Sky Trek in Castle Rock and remembered the lake she was talking about – Lower Church Lake.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter at denver.citycast.fm.
