They are raising two young kids and have grown to love the community, and have made several good friends in the neighborhood. \u201cThere\u2019s just so much to like about living here,\u201d said Sean Reisetter. \u201cThere are plenty of things to do, and with the kids having friends here and us having friends here, we really don\u2019t need to leave that much.\u201d Reisetter points out that although things are pretty easy here in Stapleton, things are about to get even easier. \u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/king-soopers-natural-grocer-could-not-make-it-in-stapleton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quebec King Soopers<\/a> isn\u2019t ideal,\u201d says Reisetter, \u201cbut it\u2019s still serviceable. And pretty soon we\u2019ll have another one in the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/gaining-grocer-in-eastbridge-town-center-size-able-problem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eastbridge Town Center<\/a>. Plus the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/forest-city-to-create-virtual-tour-of-planned-eastbridge-town-center-to-ease-minds-of-residents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">town center<\/a> will have lots of other exciting businesses as will the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stanley-marketplace-shining-example-of-possibilities-if-forest-city-isnt-involved\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stanley project<\/a>. So, at some point you just have to ask yourself, \u2018do I really want to leave the neighborhood today?\u2019\u201d\n<!--more-->\nWith all of their friends in Stapleton, the Reisetters do have friends in other parts of Denver. \u201cOf course we had friends before me moved to Stapleton,\u201d said Lennie Reisetter. \u201cAnd we keep in touch with them through email and <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapleton-neighbors-share-tearful-goodbye-for-winter-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, and occasional calls. But, it\u2019s hard to get together, you know, with the kids, and then just the not wanting to leave Stapleton. I mean, our house is so much nicer and better suited for our kids than theirs is. Plus parking in the highlands or Governor\u2019s Park can be such a pain. If we get our way, we try to just quietly stay in Stapleton and hang out with our neighbors.\u201d\nTwo weeks ago, the Reisetters were invited to friends of theirs in the Highlands for a dinner party which would include the kids. \u201cI was not excited about it at all,\u201d said Sean. \u201cI mean, we have to pack the kids in the car for a 15-20 minute drive, find parking, make sure everything is safe in the neighborhood, then the house. It\u2019s just a huge hassle. I was doing everything to try to figure a way out of it.\u201d Lennie was in the same situation. \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t want to go,\u201d said Lennie. \u201cI mean, they are our dearest of friends, and were actually in our wedding, but driving 15 miles from Stapleton? Not my cup of tea.\u201d The Reisetters were not honored by the invite, in fact, it was quite the opposite. \u201cIt was pretty imposing,\u201d said Sean. \u201cNow they expect us to go all the way out there, with the kids mind you, and then drive all the way home? We have better things to do less than a block away. I thought it was pretty rude of our friends to invite us like that.\u201d The Reisetters say they will do better as far as having an excuse all set to go for next time. \u201cWe definitely won\u2019t go,\u201d said Lennie. \u201cBut, we won\u2019t be rude about it. We\u2019ll have a good excuse all ready to go.\u201d Once <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stanley-scam-marketplace-a-ruse-to-get-forest-city-to-move-forward-with-town-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stanley<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/evergreen-development-getting-plenty-of-recommendations-for-eastbridge-town-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">town center<\/a> are complete, the family plans to spend at least 96% of their time in Stapleton. \u201cWhy would we ever leave?\u201d asked Lennie.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-6101","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-119","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6101\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
