Strong Mooovement for Cows in Stapleton
We now have chickens on every block in Stapleton, laying eggs and providing delicious nutrition, reducing the carbon footprint of egg purchases, and providing hours of entertainment for the kids and especially dogs and cats. Recently a flock of Stapleton chicken owners has proposed that the MCA and the City of Denver allow residents of Stapleton to keep their own dairy cows.

Stapleton Mom's Yahoo Group Boycotts Yahoo
In an unprecedented show of force, Stapleton Moms has boycotted Yahoo. “It is a travesty for Yahoo to do what they are doing,” stated a bitter Stapleton Mom, Susan Dyke. Our investigative reporters have yet to determine why the Moms are boycotting Yahoo, except it looks as though it is “the thing to do.” “We have boycotted several restaurants due to late food delivery, animal clinics who hurt our dogs when providing rabies shots and grocery stores when lines are long. This (boycotting Yahoo) is the natural progression,” stated Susan.
Until the issue is resolved, Stapleton Moms have been advised to use Google to get their questions answered. Instead of posting a question, such as ‘what is the the weather like today,’ Stapleton Moms will just have to cut down the time it takes to get an answer and Google Denver weather. The sacrifice is worth it to Susan. “I know it seems like a lot to do, but this is what happens when we are in a battle.”]]>
City Finally Gives MLK Jr. Blvd. Respect it Deserves
After several years of community petitions, MLK Jr. Blvd is finally being designated as a “rough road.” Denver’s MLK Jr. Blvd. is the final MLK Jr. Blvd to receive the distinction in an urban area, as every other major city had already designated their MLK Jr. Blvd.’s as “rough roads.”
District police officer Andy Swarbrick is also happy the street is finally being recognized. “I think it is a great reminder to residents. People forget that just because they live in a nice neighborhood, doesn’t mean that MLK Blvd. has become less dangerous.” Eastbridge residents living close to the corner of Havana and MLK are in complete agreement. “We have seen some crazy things,” says Eastbridge resident Dan Pease. “People speeding, cars and trucks manufactured before 2000, and even people smoking in their cars.”
Police officers hope that the new designation will keep residents more alert when they are driving or running on MLK Jr. Blvd., although the Denver MLK Jr. Blvd. has a long ways to go to get bumped to LA’s MLK Jr. Blvd’s status of “Dangerous Road.” “We’re simply not there yet,” says officer Swarbrick. “It’s one step at a time, and although we would love to eventually see the street receive “dangerous road” recognition, it is probably a ways off.”
Although Stapleton residents are thrilled about the status change for their main road, they are already on to the next street. Many residents in North Central Park feel that the excessive speed on 35th ave. is cause for an upgrade to the road’s status. “People fly down this road,” says resident Chris Lembeck. “Yesterday, we saw someone doing 41 miles per hour. Is it going to take gun shots to get the status of this street changed?” According to officer Swarbrick, that is exactly what it will take. “Before even considering changing the status of a street to “rough road” there has to be evidence of at least 200 rounds being fired on our near the road.”
At this point, it is highly unlikely 35th Ave. will have its designation changed, as it simply isn’t that close to Aurora.]]>
Pocket Park Rules Simplified
The old well-intentioned rules posted at Stapleton’s pocket parks have become too long, stale, outdated, and cumbersome. The Stapleton MCA has taken down the old signs and replaced them with signs that are more direct, yet explain the rules very clearly. [Read more…] about Pocket Park Rules Simplified
Out of Business Stapleton Builders to Hold Reunions with Homeowners
Jeff Feierstein is hoping for a happy reunion. “We think that although there may be some bitterness, its mostly all under the bridge at this point. We probably received about 30 law suits, but they probably understand that they are not going to get any money at this point, so it’s all cool.” [Read more…] about Out of Business Stapleton Builders to Hold Reunions with Homeowners

Forrest City’s “Never Be Specific” Policy Working Out Famously
Forrest City President Phil Dargossi had a lot of foresight when it came to creating the Stapleton Community. Stapleton is already hailed as one of the greatest planned communities in the United States, which pretty much means the world. From the several quality builders that were used to create the differentiation, to the many parks, and the urban living, Stapleton is a very well-planned community.
“We believe strongly on the direction we are going,” says Dargossi. However, sometimes that direction is ill-defined and vague. [Read more…] about Forrest City’s “Never Be Specific” Policy Working Out Famously
