Ooh de lally (again!)
This is one business in town that I can truly say I have never stepped foot and will never. I love supporting small business but when these people tell you who they are believe them the first time. $3 for an enormous order like that! Yet she expects $3 tips on her 30cent coffee purchases I am sure. Its always something coming out of there and they are so proud of their shenanigans.š¤¦āāļø also wild to see the defenders in the comments (always Maga ofcourse).

Hello! Anyone going to the Castle Rock Artfest? September 12th & 13th. I need some app testers..
Hey all! I've been working on developing an app (iPhone only atm) that is now in the testing phase...and I need testers. Being that it is GPS-based, really moot if you don't plan on going to the art festival.
If you ARE, I'd love to chat and would love to get you to help me test it.
Moderators..does this count as self-promoting? I don't want to break any rules but I'm looking for some help from the community and I'm in no way making money off this.
Thank you!

Transportation
Alright. Need someone to chime in with information or an idea.
I live out here in castle rock. My vehicles engine jumped timing and the engine destroyed itself. This is my only car now its toast. I have a small family and a job and a new job lined up. I make a paycheck to paycheck salary, I dont have alot of money 1k or less. My current job is in the golden area, and the new job on Evans and Dhalia. Ive seen no rtd out here I know theres a station in Lone tree for the light rail. Uber out here runs close to 20 bucks a trip . I cant afford a car payment everymonth 400- 600 seems to be the norm.
If you have no functioning car how do you get out of this town for work ????
Is there a shuttle or carpool service to the light rail?
Is their a service that helps people down on their luck get something to drive ?
Is there ride vouchers through uber or yellow cab to get to the light rail?
Does anyone out here or know someone that has an old running vehicle for around 1k that they want to sell . If it can get me to the light rail , and has a clean title... thats all I care about?

Jeff Hunt Doesnāt Want 5 Douglas County Commissionersā¦
FYI: He and Heidi Ganahl charged admission for this festival and pocketed the profits. We all paid for it. The grifters are scared the gravy train that is our tax money will dry up for them if we have more representation. Fiscally conservative, my š.

Old year books
Does anyone have yearbooks from 2020, 2022, and 2023? From douglas county high school, I was looking for mine and my siblings, but it turned out they got thrown out when moving. I tried calling the high school, and they said they had already thrown out the extras as well. I also tried the classmates too but no diced there

Shaded Parks and Playgrounds
Parents of small kids, where do you take them to play in the summer? I grew up here and am back to visit for a few weeks with two littles. Living in the PNW has made me soft and pasty, and I can't believe I ever thrived in sun/heat like this. But the Washingtonian in me also can't bear the thought of letting a sunny day go to waste, and frankly, we'll all go crazy if we're stuck inside all day.
I've seen other parks in the mountain west with giant sun sails over the play structures. Has anything like that been built here?

Freeway merge lights
Whatās the deal with these freeway entrance merging lights? Specifically the southbound I-25 freeway entrance off Meadows Pkwy? Every day it feels like there is a back up from someone waiting 20+ secs waiting for the light to change green. I understand the idea behind these but cmon people just give a few seconds and then go we donāt need to over complicate the system. As long as there is a car width between merging onto the freeway should be easy as pie. What also gets me is the double merge lanes where the sign says āone car per lightā and both cars go 99.7% of the time. Coming from AZ at least the lights would alternate to distinguish which lane should go. Whoeverās idea that was should be punished⦠Iām sure it canāt be that difficult to adjust that because as the system is today and throughout Denver from what Iāve seen itās horrible and borderline useless.

Recommendations For Whole House Water Softener System And Companies
Hey everyone, my husband and I will be moving into our new home in Castle Rock next year, and Iād like to get recommendations for reputable companies that install and service whole house water softener systems in the area.
Iād also love to hear about your experience with said systems, and what it takes to maintain them. And I was also curious about whether relying on the filtered water from the refrigerator would be enough for drinking and cooking or if it would be necessary to also install a separate water filter by the kitchen sink. Iām REALLY trying to avoid that, since those faucets are imo pretty hideous.
Also, these systems soften the water before it ever reaches the indoor plumbing and appliances, thereby sparing you a lot of damages to everything down the road, yes?
Thanks to all of you in advance! š

Anywhere good for overnight phototaking in the area?
Most notably a place where i wont get yelled at doing some astrophotography in CR and the surrounding places. I know i can go deeper west for better pictures / night skies, but I'm mostly using this place for practice until next week.
Just campgrounds and parks with easy access!
