Stapleton man Steve Cuthbert has been a golf fan since he can remember. He started playing at age six with his dad, and went on to be a successful golfer in high school, and even played golf in college. He does not golf quite as much as he used to, but still gets out a decent amount. He has followed several golfers over the years, and like many fans, was enamored by Tiger Woods’ golf game.

Robert McCracken enjoys running to keep in Shape. Six years ago, his wife Helen had their second baby. They now had a newborn and a two year old. Robert continued to run on his own, but told his wife he would love to get a running stroller for which he could eventually take both the kids. Robert told her to find one, as that was “her department.” [Read more…] about After Three Years, Stapleton Man Realizes Stroller Not Personally Monogrammed

Eastbridge residents have never been proponents of Havana St. eventually becoming a through street. Many have made their voices heard at block captain meetings, MCA meetings, and SUN meetings. “We already get enough accidental traffic,” says Eastbridge resident David Clark. “People ignore or don’t see the sign right now, so imagine if they opened it up and encouraged people to come straight through on their way to Aurora.” That’s exactly what will be happening in the next couple of months when Havana and Iola will wind right into our rougher, less refined neighbor, Aurora. “First, we are allowing them to hop on a bus right in the middle of our community,” says resident Kyle Streff. “Now, we are going to allow them to drive in and out without any type of inconvenience or barrier? This is ridiculous?” Residents fear that the already busy road will become the main access for Aurorans to access their homes. The Stapleton Transportation committee recently completed a study, and the results are quite alarming to residents in the area. The study includes but is not limited to the following information:

• Auto theft expected to go up 400%
• Home invasions to rise 230%
• Police chases (may include helicopters) to increase 220%
• Shootouts to go up another 500%
• Gang related tagging to increase 150%

These numbers are quite concerning to resident Sarah Nuss. “Maybe not having gun legislation isn’t such a bad thing,” says Nuss. “If the city of Denver and Forest City are not taking the necessary steps to protect my family, I will.” SUN is working alongside the MCA and Forest City to work out a resolution to make Eastbridge residents more safe. Some ideas include discounts on bullet-proof glass, as well as hiring a full scale security team from 6PM-3AM. The community has yet to make any final decisions, but vows to protect itself from Aurora residents driving to their homes. ]]>

Kathleen Andreasen decided to take a trip to the Stapleton Home Depot and then grabbed a quick sub from Jimmy Johns. She assumed the trip would take roughly an hour from the time she left her home to the time she arrived home. “I ended up being gone for about two hours,” said Kathleen. “It was ridiculous, and infuriating.” [Read more…] about Stapleton Woman Stuck at Quebec Square Intersection for 45 Minutes

If the tragedy in Boston taught us one thing, it is that dangerous terrorists often hide in boats in people’s backyards. So last week, the Stapleton MCA decided to eliminate any possibility of terrorists hiding in boats in Stapleton backyards by adding a provision to the HOA which will not allow anyone to house any nautical vessels in their backyards. “This was an easy decision,” said MCA President Liza Kampstra. “We all saw what unfolded in Watertown. We do not want to see that here in our community.” [Read more…] about Stapleton MCA Bans Backyard Boats

Living the good life in Stapleton, or anywhere, can come at a cost. With the high average home price, many Stapletonians have high level, high stress jobs, or have two working parents. On top of that, the average household has 2.8 children, and many of those kids are under the age of six. Plus the pressure for the Stapleton women. Finally, with your neighbors right on top of you, there is enormous pressure to keep up with the Jones’s. [Read more…] about Anti-Depressant Vending Machines to be Placed Throughout Stapleton

A large contingent sleep deprived parents are petitioning the MCA to immediately ban the growing incidents of “faux” sleep-over birthday parties or “The Faux”. “The Faux” are defined as a late afternoon/early evening party, where children attend, dressed in pajamas, filled with incredible amounts of sugary products and then returned to their parents around 9:30pm or 10pm. One concerned parent has coined the phrase: “Faux F..kover”. [Read more…] about Stapleton Parents Organizing Boycott of Faux Sleep-Over Birthday Parties

The Staybridge Suites at the Shops in Northfield is expected to be opened this December, just in time to help Northfield holiday sales. Forest City and The Shops at Northfield are hoping the new hotel will bring business their way. “The idea is that we will get lots of business travelers staying here,” said Forest City spokesperson Janelle Ayers. “Once they are dropped off here by their car service, they will feel stuck in this area, and will hopefully do all their dining and shopping in the location.” [Read more…] about Northfield Hotel Expected to Help Struggling Shops, Restaurants
