Although in its early stages, there has been much talk and debate over whether a nuclear agreement with Iran is a good thing or a bad thing, and if we should be working with them at all. It will take years before we will understand if any agreement ends up being positive or negative for the US. What we do know is that if the US and its allies remove sanctions from Iran, the US will have direct access to Iranian oil, which more than likely will drive oil and gas prices down.

Stapleton resident Vince O’Hara launched a new blog this week called 80238: Stapleton – We are the top 0.9%” “Yep, I know about the ‘We are the top 1%.. What I was looking to do was to highlight that we are not only in the top 1% for all that cool stuff like income and education, (they left looks out of the article by the way), but what’s even better is that we are in the top 0.9% in terms of handwringing.” Some Stapleton residents have criticized the “We are the 1% blog” as just a way for people to assuage their guilt about living in an elite neighborhood like ours, and O’Hara looks to capitalize on this with his blog.” [Read more…] about Stapleton Blogger: “We are the top 0.9%”

After eight months of intensive research using flowcharts and complex computer programs, researchers have found the Stapleton Facebook Missing Link which would officially connect all of Stapleton Facebook users. “We were trying to see if you could easily connect to every Stapleton person using ‘mutual friends,’” says lead scientist Kyle Carnewal. “We would get close, but eventually, would get to a dead end. So, we wanted to see what, and more importantly who, the dead end was.” Researchers then used complex computer programs to search the Stapleton Facebook pages to find who the one person was keeping all of Stapleton from being connected through Facebook.

In what will probably become the “holy shit, is that for real?” moment of 2015 for Stapletonians, Punch Bowl Social has agreed to repurpose the Stapleton Control Tower space into one of its food, drink, and entertainment venues. “We are very excited about integrating ourselves into the Stapleton community,” said Punch Bowl Social CEO Robert Thompson. “This is the beginning of a long partnership. Do we know what we are getting into? Not really. But, my assumption is that everyone in this community will welcome us with open arms and in no way will there by a loud minority that constantly bitches about us. So, I think we will be all good.” [Read more…] about Punch (Bowl) Me, I’m Dreaming; Hip Pub and Eatery to Renovate Tower

Stapleton swingers are typically a quiet, underground group, but recently have become vocal. “When we first saw the Stapleton Swap Facebook Page we kind of laughed about it,” says swinger Luke Wiley. “But once we saw they had about 2000 members, we thought enough was enough. This is who we are, and someone is taking it away from us.” [Read more…] about Local Swingers File Trademark Lawsuit Against Stapleton Swap Facebook Page

A group of Stapleton men decided enough was enough when it came to producing offspring, so decided it was time to “get snipped” so to speak. “Most of us knew we were done for a while, but decided to make it official,” says Stapleton resident and father of three Keith Ott. “I was talking to a neighbor friend about it who said they were planning it, and we each knew a couple other guys in the hood who were going to get it done. So we thought, hey, they have baby showers. Let’s have our own little snipping shower. And what better time of year than the first weekend of March Madness.” [Read more…] about Stapleton Men Organize “March Vasectomy Madness”

Within the last week, most Stapleton residents who had a first-time kindergartner found out what school their kindergartner had gotten into. For some, it was the news they had hoped for and expected. For others, it was a nightmare. “We did not get into our first choice,” says parent Krista Mitchell. “We applied for Swigert which is the closest school to us, but ended up getting into High Tech Elementary. What are we going to do now? I am already writing emails, letters, and contacting everyone I know to get this changed.” [Read more…] about School Choice Announcements Blow Up Internet

Over the past decade, King Soopers has taken a lot of heat from the Stapleton consumers. There have been the basic complaints over organic food choices, cramped aisle space, long confusing lines at the pump, and most recently, a mouse running around inside the deli case. What has somehow gone under the radar, however, is how shopping carts often lock up prior to getting to your vehicle. “My car will literally be parked in the lot,” says frustrated Soopers shopper Tom McDonald. “But somehow, right before I get to my cart, the wheel locks up. It’s incredibly frustrating.” [Read more…] about King Soopers to Extend Automatic Cart Lock Perimeter
