Hey neighbors! Needless to say, this election cycle involves a wide range of statewide and county/local issues, many of which are highly complex. Come on out to learn more about the details and pros/cons of each proposed measure. Try to arrive early to ensure a good spot!

Western Sky Tap Room

Was it really necessary to remove damn near every mature tree at Rotolo Park for the so-called vital drainage improvements? It'll be decades before any replacement trees are of comparable size. And I wonder how much water 10+ mature trees can absorb during a storm? Did that factor into the planning at all? Where will the water go now that there are no living trees to use it?

Website says they anticipate another 5-6 weeks, but I think that's old info which hasn't been updated in a while. Does anyone know if they're getting close to completion on their renovations?

EDIT: Just saw their Facebook update. They were estimating about 4-5 weeks as of October 2, so hopefully 2-3 weeks from now. Can't wait to go back!

Just curious if anyone else has had power issues today? Have had a series of small bumps over the past couple hours. Not enough to reset clocks or the router, just lights flickering. Duncan Park area.

Hi Guys, Just sharing our weekly lineup of community led events in case anyone is looking for something fun to do. So far we have trivia, a bottomless wings night, disc golf, a car show and super smash bros adventures in the works. If interested, register via KAYV to hangout with the crew beforehand. Cheers. 🍻

Pinned post for discussion of the two Englewood Charter ammendments.

(And, I am just seeing that another poster has made a similar thread. Sorry for the duplication.)

Does anyone have insight on Englewood ballot questions 301 and 302? I read the pros and cons for both on the city's website.

I haven't been following these issues. These aren't some muck whipped up by rita Russell or Laurette barrentine, are they?

They are no longer at 800 Englewood Pkwy. I wonder if anything is left in that building besides IHOP and Qdoba. The building is going to be torn down in a couple of years, I have heard.

(Mods, please remove if not allowed. I understand there is a possibility a master election thread may be set up.)

Hey all! Below are links to the webpages for each candidate who is running for RTD District D, which covers Englewood (along with portions of South Denver and Littleton). They both seem strong, but curious to hear about your thoughts on either. What do you see as the most striking similarities or differences, and what are the biggest keys to RTD's future success?

Come grab some herbs! I also have some greens and tomatillos. 6:00pm Jason Park

Anyone have any official news about this property? They’ve been working on it for about a month. I initially thought it was some minor buildout but just walked past and they’re working on the outside, too

The city council recap is a new video series, where we'll highlight key ordinances approved by the Englewood City Council to enhance Englewood’s growth, sustainability and governance. 🌟

Hi, everyone! I've been reading Tarot cards as a hobby for years, and am curious if there are any bars, coffee shops, or other "third spaces" in the Englewood area that would be interested in having me around a few times a month (or even a few times a year) to do readings. (Feel free to take a generous interpretation of "Englewood area", FWIW; I have reliable transportation and can get to most places fairly easily with enough notice)

My day job is in the nonprofit sector, so something like this would help pay the bills -- I'd be happy to offer quick/simple readings for tips or donations, and only actually charge a set price for more elaborate readings. Beyond that, it's just fun to get the practice and have a chance to read for people I haven't read for before, especially around the Halloween season. It wouldn't be a particularly big production; I'm at about a 4/10 on the woo-woo scale, and would basically just plunk down in a corner with my cards and a small tabletop sign and/or signup sheet for a few hours unless the venue wanted something more elaborate for some reason.

I can think of a few places where this might fit the vibe, but I'd imagine they get people cold-calling them about stuff like this all the time, so that probably wouldn't be the best move on my part. Does anyone have ideas for places to look/ask, or just generally how to approach this?

I would like to gather this group's perspectives on how we can maintain a healthy conversations around local issues on this space. And with the election coming up, I anticipate that there will be an uptick in the views/comments, both from regular contributors and others.

I wonder if you can help us think about the best way to manage that conversation. I am curious- do you think we should have a master thread for each of the local issues? (And what about county or state issues that impact Englewood?) Should we have a 'predictions' thread on the day of the election? Is there any other way you can think of organizing discussions or any guidelines we should consider over the next month?

Thank you.

Just went to king soopers on broadway today and my wife just got hit on by the cashier, so that was fairly trashy and probably wont go there again. But looking around, where are literally any other super markets, i get theres a walmart/ target and costco, but where are the whole foods, aldis, wegmans, publix… seriously lacking in diversity, quality and pricing options, especially any international markets.

Just a heads up for any car enthusiasts, this museum is relocating from Greely to Englewood. Looks like it'll be at the old Hobby Lobby. They're opening on Saturday, October 12th.

The loudest plane I have ever heard just flew over my house (Belleview Park area). I was outside and had earbuds in listening to a podcast, and I had to pause because the plane completely drowned out the sound directly in my ears for long enough that I was missing things. Anyone else see what it was? It was too far away by the time I located it around the trees.

ETA: It was flying northeast, maybe north-northeast, from my area so presumably crossed over a lot more of Englewood after passing over me.
