\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>The Park Hill Home Tour<\/a> held this past Sunday was a great opportunity for many current residents to go back and see their old neighborhood. \u201cIt was so fun getting back there,\u201d said ex-Park Hill and current Stapleton resident Stephanie Klages. \u201cTo see some of our old neighbors and some of the places we used to frequent was really neat for that couple of hours. I mean, Park Hill is a great place to be from.\u201d\n\nResidents toured the classic homes in Park Hill along with the up and coming homes north of MLK Jr. Blvd. \u201cWe didn\u2019t take the entire tour,\u201d said one current Stapleton resident who used to live in Park Hill. \u201cWe pretty much stayed near the area we used to live, which is what we were comfortable with.\u201d Many of the families took the opportunity to explain to their children what their lives could have been like. \u201cWe made sure to take the kids,\u201d said Becky Runyan. \u201cIn a way, it was how we let them see how we made choices to give them more opportunities. They could have been living in Park Hill, and look where they are at now. The kids definitely \u2018got it\u2019 and you could tell they appreciate what we did for them that much more.\u201d\nIn fact, so many parents took their kids on the tour to show them how rough their life could be, Stapleton schools are now considering taking field trips to non-Stapleton, third world-type suburbs. Aurora is being considered but parents and teachers are concerned that might be a little too rough. The most plausible suggestion so far is Thornton. \u201cI am all for these types of field trips,\u201d said parent Tony Leonhart. \u201cJust an easy way for the kids to understand things could be a lot tougher than they have it in Stapleton-ville.\u201d\nThe next home tour for former residents coming up is the Highlands Home Tour, also sponsored by Forest City. \u201cWe want people to be able to see their old neighborhood and say, \u2018so glad I got out of here,\u2019\u201d said Forest City Spokesperson Janelle Ayers. \u201cThen, we hope they call their old friends and tell them they have to get out of there and move to Stapleton.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
