\t\t\t\t\"dads<\/a>Recently, you may have noticed a group of 10 to 15 40 year old men hanging out on Fulton and 26th some days, and Havana and 26th other days. The men appear threatening as they drink Colt 45 and Mickey\u2019s, often flashing signs to drivers crossing into Aurora as well as pointing at drivers using gun gestures with their hands. \u201cIt looks pretty hard core,\u201d said Stapleton resident Kathleen Williams. \u201cThey look like they are in shape, maybe they do cross-fit, but any rate, they seem pretty scary.\u201d\n\nThe group says that Stapleton residents have nothing to fear. \u201cNothing we are doing is geared towards Stapleton residents,\u201d said one of the men, Ryan Dinnibier. \u201cOur motivation is to get Aurora people out of our neighborhoods. We are sick of them being all up in our grill. The message is simple: stop driving through our neighborhood, or we will continue to flash threatening signs at you.\u201d The group of dads is a rotating group of about 40, many of whom work from home or have a flexible schedule. \u201cWe all take our turns, or shifts,\u201d says one of the dads, Mark Tracy. \u201cA lot of us think this is what has to be done.\u201d\nTracy says the dads know who is from Stapleton and who is from Aurora because, \u201cwe\u2019re not stupid. It\u2019s pretty easy to tell.\u201d The dads plan to stay at their posts the entire summer and through the fall if Aurora traffic through Stapleton doesn\u2019t slow down significantly. \u201cWe are dedicated to this,\u201d said Dinnibier. \u201cIt is definitely working. We have noticed fewer and fewer American cars or cars built before 2010 driving through the corner. The hard work is paying off, so we will continue to do our work.\u201d\nForest City and SUN have not made any official comments on the group and its goals. On condition of anonymity, one Forest City official appreciated the group\u2019s efforts. \u201cOn the record, we could never support the efforts of the group,\u201d said the official. \u201cOff the record, I think most people in this building would tell you, in the end, what this group is doing is great for Stapleton.\u201d So, if you happen to be driving by one of these Eastbridge intersections, don\u2019t feel threatened by the group. Unless, of course, you are still driving that 1995 Chevy or Ford.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
