\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nStapleton has once again made primetime after Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of the popular cable TV series Mythbusters were called to bust the myth of Stapleton homes available for around $200,000. \u201cWe received several emails from residents and potential buyers saying they had seen signs that stated the sale of homes for that amount,\u201d said Savage. \u201cThe research from our staff did not support such claims. So, we decided it would be a good myth to head out and bust.\u201d\n\nMythbusters headed out to Stapleton with their team to conduct interviews and scour the area for sightings. They spoke with residents, real estate agents, and home builders. \u201cThe myth was almost proclaimed true very early on,\u201d said Hyneman. \u201cOne of the builders we spoke with told us that it was absolutely correct. However, after investigating it further, we realized that they were not including a roof, the kitchen, or any bathrooms. It was essentially an advertising scheme for the builder.\u201d\n\u201cI have friends that say they have seen it,\u201d says resident Tim Cox. \u201cBut no one has ever shown me any concrete proof. I think it is more of an urban legend than anything else.\u201d Mythbusters spent two weeks in Stapleton conducting its research. \u201cWe wish we would have been able to blow some stuff up,\u201d says Savage. \u201cMaybe we could have blown up the tower. Unfortunately, no explosions were necessary to bust this myth.\u201d\nThe episode will air Tuesday, July 3rd at 7PM on the Discovery Channel. ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
