Historic Englewood: Englewood Herald, February 13, 1922

These old newspapers are gold mines. Recently, I was idly wondering why Clarkson is so wide. Well, the February 3, 1922 issue of the Englewood Herald has been waiting for someone to stumble across the answer on its first page:

“South Clarkson street, South from Hampden to Mansfield Avenue, will soon be opened as an east thoroughfare for the city. This the commissioners of Arapahoe County and will start in the immediate future. The street has long been needed as a matter of convenience to drivers who were formerly forced to drive to the west before striking a street.”

There you go. Read this and other fascinating news from old Englewood at https://www.coloradohistoricnewspapers.org/?a=d&d=ENH19220203-01.2.5&e=-------en-20--1--img-txIN%7CtxCO%7CtxTA--------0------

Where in Englewood?!?

Last week’s mystery location wasn’t much of a mystery, but what about this week? Can you guess where in Englewood this is?

Plumber

Hello Englewood, I need a plumber. We’ve been using the big names but while they get the job done, their prices are too high. Does anyone have recommendations for a good local plumber that won’t over charge?

Thanks.

Historic Englewood

Happy Friday Englewood! It’s time for our weekly peek into our past. This week is a 1930 shot of Hampden and Broadway, looking northwest up Broadway. Looks to already have been a bustling intersection.

Garbage!

Edit: thanks everyone, I’m calling Mountain on Monday. Meanwhile Republic messaged me once again that they’re coming on Monday. Is this some sort of psychological experiment? Lol

Hi fellow Englewoodonions,

Republic “Services” hasn’t picked up our garbage despite contacting them every business day since last Wednesday. It’s been festering out front and blocking my driveway for NINE DAYS. Every time we contact them they read a script saying they’re coming “tonight” or “tomorrow”. Obviously they do not care.

Anyway, is anyone even remotely happy with their garbage company? We’ve been through Republic, Waste Connections, and I forget who else. They’ve all had bad service but they would mostly come by again if you called them. Waste Management is out because they don’t even answer the phone to sign up new customers. Not a good sign!

Any recommendations of a company that’s less terrible?

Absolute Banger of a City Council Meeting Last Night

It was my watering night last night so I missed a few moments running in and out of the house to move sprinklers, but last night’s city council meeting was non stop action. I’ll just hit the highlights to keep this post manageable.

First off was the study session, which included a spirited discussion of the effect the unhoused are having downtown. Apparently staff at Brewability have frequently been assaulted (!) and there are other disgusting things they’re forced to deal with daily. I didn’t realize things had gotten that bad.

Public comment included a citizen narrating annotated photos of the construction going on at Broadway and Oxford. It seems the contractor, who has since been fired, undermined the foundation and basement of the Bill Smith building while ripping up the sidewalk out front. They also cut the wires to the traffic lights at that intersection, resulting in car accidents-plural.

Next up, a vote to terminate the city’s contract with Flock. The resulting exhilarating high was nearly ruined by the following discussion of contracting with Axon, a different “license plate reader” camera. Despite the police pushing hard for it and explaining the difference from Flock, Rita Russell said it would be the same thing. Rick Somerson seemed adamantly against it, citing collection and retention of many millions of pieces of data of innocent citizens going about their business for “less than a handful” of positive hits or whatever their “success” metric is. Jack Bethel said the cameras raise 4th Amendment issues and that the Axon system might be able to be used within the 4th, but we aren’t there yet. The idea of constant government surveillance seemed to be of major concern, yet the vote was disconcertingly close, 3-3. Steve Ward voted yes which really surprised me. I see this coming up again soon.

Mayor Sierra laid out the timeline for appointing a new council member for Joe Anderson’s vacant seat, which must be accomplished by September 28th. The meeting ended with a tribute to Joe Anderson from Mayor Sierra, with some words from Steve Ward as well. A flower marked Joe’s place on the dais throughout the meeting.

There were a lot more details and developments I can’t cover here, but you can watch the meeting at https://www.youtube.com/live/K4bC9UsJuU0?si=Hclo5Vsl_c18p2Kh

Where in Englewood?!?

Hi Englewood, last week’s sighting of a classic Jeep Cherokee was correctly guessed as gracing the north Chase Bank parking lot. Can you let Englewood know where this week’s photo was taken?

Historic Englewood

Happy Friday, E-Wood. We made it through another week and have arrived at Historic Englewood Day. This week features a shot of Cornell and Broadway from 1925, looking southeast from Broadway. You can see the trolley tracks running down Broadway!

A service station at the time, the building on the left is now, I believe, Jeff’s Automotive.

Joe Anderson Tribute

This Friday’s Historic Englewood post will be replaced by a Joe Anderson tribute thread. Let’s share our thoughts and stories about Joe to help our community through this terrible time.

I didn’t know Joe, but I watched many a city council meeting where he handled difficult situations with calm grace. It’s obvious he cared about the people of Englewood and the city itself. Our entire community will be affected by his loss. My deepest sympathy for his family.

Where in Englewood?!?

This week’s mystery location is a bit more obscure than last week’s- can you pinpoint this location in Englewood?
Edit: my bad, I should’ve said don’t post exact residence addresses please, the general area suffices.
