Not to intentionally add to the cacophony of "what's going in there" threads, but I noticed awhile back that the building where Colore is (across from Swallow Hill) has a "Goldfinch" and "Brunch" sign flashing in the upstairs window. I noticed there is another "Goldfinch" location a little further north on Broadway. I wondered if they are moving to this location at some point. I haven't seen any news on it otherwise.

Has anyone heard anything yet? This end of Broadway needs more interesting things.

We moved in a few months ago and our water bills have been absolutely insane. I’ve seen a few mentions of this, what are the issues that are happening? New water meters or meters being old? What’re you taking to dispute the bill? Can you even dispute it? I spoke with them and they said I could have a leak but I’ve had everything serviced and not found any

I live in a duplex and do not have a driveway/garage unfortunately. What is Englewood's rules/laws if I wanted to change the oil of my car on the street? Obviously, keeping it clean/recycling/disposing of properly and all.. but I couldn't seem to find anything about whether changing your oil on the street is legal or not

Does anyone on here attend Red rocks church (the Littleton campus)? I would love to go but don’t have a car. If anyone is willing to pick me up before and drop me off after, it would mean the world to me. I’m in Englewood.

Throwaway as this might be frowned upon by some but hopefully most people in our hood would rather a fox not be euthanized for no reason.

THIS FOX HAS RECEIVED A PARASITE TREATMENT!

We administered and can verify it consumed treatment for its mange. He may still look rough but as of today this fox is officially on the mend. If you see him around please do not call the city. They will euthanize it!

Hi all, my name is Catie Cheshire and I work for Denver Westword. I'm hoping to write about the water bill situation in Englewood. If anyone is up for sharing their bills and/or talking with me about the situation please DM me here or email catie.cheshire@westword.com, whichever is most comfortable for you. Thank you!

Figured this would be a good space to share for anyone who attended or participated.

Dear god, this switch over to the new meter and billing system is insane. Completely F’d. At first the August bill was large to catch up from the switch over, I get it. They have since hit me with two additional massive bills. $200-300+ per month! We were roughly $100/month before this switch. 2 person household small yard. The consumption numbers don’t even show up on my bill. Previous balance getting carried over not processing in their system? Can’t make sense of this. Unless I have 45k gallons of water in my basement…. I don’t. no one in the office can give me an answer… what to do now. I’ve turned off auto payments for now the city can pound sand. I want this POS meter out.

Anyone else get a crazy high water bill this month? Apparently from July 2nd to Oct 17th I used 174,000 gallons of water. I have a single family home with a small yard, that number just doesn't make sense at all. No noticeable leaks, anyone have any ideas?? Wondering if the new system miscalculated somehow.

I called in and they just confirmed my usage and sent me packing. No way I used enough water to fill 10 decent sized pools in that time frame....

My stylist who was right around the block from me sort of went off the deep end with family issues and drama. She has been so unreliable over the past few months, that I officially "fired" her last night for non-communication of her availability for a scheduled appointment.

As for barbers, I've found this hit or miss. While most are reasonably priced, some are really hamstrung in the styles of haircuts they can do. I kind of dismissed the whole idea of barber shops after the last guy I went to was adamant that I only choose from a "short or long" haircut and getting frustrated if I added any nuance.

I notice that some of the places on the main strip charge an arm and a leg, and I'm not really looking for a premium experience. That said, I'd rather go to someone who will be there consistently, so chains are out of the question. $25-$35 per cut is my desired price range.

Thanks!

ETA: We got a winner! I booked online with Sam Hill by Arrow downtown. $35 per haircut, cards accepted.

Englewood Utilities and its contractors will NEVER ask for payment for replacing lead or galvanized steel water service lines. Through the city’s Lead Reduction Program, replacement of these lines has no direct cost to water customers. However, basic restoration (like drywall, flooring or special landscaping) is your responsibility as outlined in your Customer Acknowledgement Form.

If anyone asks you to pay for your service line replacement, they are NOT representing Englewood Utilities. Report such incidents immediately to: lead@englewoodco.gov. For more details, visit englewoodco.gov/lead-reduction-program for FAQs

The big win for the Horns in College Station has got me wondering how many more of us there may be in Englewood. I know I'm not the only one because I've seen at least a couple more residences with Longhorn flags around, and I'm sure there are probably quite a few more fans who haven't gone as far as flying a flag. Anyone else a Texas fan or alum? Would there be any interest in picking a place to meet up for the SEC championship game next week? My family judges me for my level of cheering in our basement.

When I created this sub four years ago, it was never my intention for this to become a complimentary platform to Next Door. Instead, it was about sharing local business, political, and social news around the area. It seems like every other day I pop in here to check out what's going on, there's another submission about "did you hear this noise at 2am over on Logan Street?" or "who was that person walking around the neighborhood who doesn't belong here?".

Next Door already exists and serves that purpose. Let's not bring that toxic nosy neighbor culture here. Instead, let's talk about economic developments in our neighborhoods. Let's have discourse on local ballot measures. Or let's host some social meetup events like they do on other local subs. Especially as this sub grows, this type of content is going to crowd out useful and interesting content that people may actually benefit from.

Just my .02 cents. Take care and happy holidays!

Does anyone here know how to get more information about the shooting in the common areas at Avalon Cherry Hills very early morning on Black Friday?

We know there was a gunshot, there are suspects in custody and that the property management had to spend several hours during the day to clean-up. I think a lot of us are picturing the worst so hearing the full explanation may actually be comforting, you know?

I’ve been searching for a news story or any social media and coming up empty

Anyone know what’s going on with the old Mick Mullens Irish Bar space? I’ve seen some construction/demo activity going on lately. Is there a new owner or tenant? I’d love to get a good Irish bar back in Englewood, or at least see that space used for something.

Is it just me or is the stop light for pirates cove on Belleview suddenly very long and frequent? Especially annoying given that it’s closed for the season and I’ve never seen a driver actually using the green
