\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\n<\/a>Former Block Captain Amanda Baldwin returned to Stapleton this week to look at the ruins she used to call home.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s as if the current block captain hasn\u2019t done anything except forward emails,\u201d says Baldwin who had moved from Stapleton less than a year ago. Her legacy still lives in the community and on her former block.\u00a0 \u201cThe new block captain is a nice person, but they lack the leadership and heart that Amanda does,\u201d mentioned a block resident on the condition of anonymity.\nWhile block captain, Amanda led the Kickball tournament, pushed through important SUN and MCA legislation, and spearheaded the largest block party in the country, which included jumpy castles, a DJ, games, and was also fully catered.\n\u201cYeah, we miss her,\u201d mentioned another former neighbor. \u201cNot just the block, but the entire community is struggling to regain its footing. Home prices are even down.\u201d\nBaldwin has come back at the request of SUN and the MCA in hopes that some consulting efforts can reignite the struggling block and community. \u201cIt seems like block captains these days simply don\u2019t want to be involved beyond their powerful title,\u201d says Baldwin.\u00a0 \u201cI am hoping that we can put some things in motion to change this.\u201d\u00a0 If the consulting efforts do not work, there is already a financial package being put together to lure the Baldwins back.\n ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
