Hello! We have a small family farm offering fresh chicken and duck eggs. Located near Belmar! 🐔🥚 $6/dozen, 🦆🥚 $10/dozen. Feel free to reach out on this thread or message me. These girls work for treats. 🤣 Guaranteed to be Salmonella-free from happy and healthy hens. Thanks!

Channel 3 moved recently and has been closed for about a month, and they are reopening this weekend just a couple doors down from their old location.

There is a lot going on in that strip mall that was all but abandon just a few years ago, its really nice to see some revitalization happening on this side of town.

They also have (non-official) signs all over the place telling people not to park on their public city streets. FYI there were no other cars parked on the street as far as the eye could see and every McMansion had a two car garage and driveway. This is a new level of snobbery lol.

Edit: just due to how popular this post is getting and some of the comments, I want to say I don’t think anyone should go be a dick to this neighborhood. Park there if you want to access the trail but be respectful and don’t drive or park crazy.

After a four month search for a new city manager to replace Kathy Hodgson, the City Council has settled on former Lakewood resident and current manager of Nederland Jonathan Cain. This pick surprised me because his city manager credentials aren't as impressive as those of the other four finalists, but he obviously did well in his interview.

Cain has the advantage of having lived in the city for 10 years, during which time he became familiar with the land use issues that have dominated city politics for the past 20 years or so.

Hodgson was a target for abuse from local land use activists who have taken to blaming her for every city council decision they didn't like or understand. Cain starts off with a clean slate so it may take the activists a while to figure out how to target him for criticism.

See the story in the Gazette.

I think we should welcome him and help him succeed. Lakewood politics are pretty rough and tumble, so his calm demeanor and understanding of city dynamics will serve him well.

We have reached out to a couple of people but never a call back. Looking for a licensed & insured person that could install a ceiling fan on a sloped ceiling. Also needed to be installed is a storm door, and an air conditioning grate located on a third level exterior. We will have other jobs coming up as well. TIA

Originally taken from the Colfax and Oak St Lowe’s (cut lock) earlier this summer. Thief ripped off the baby seat. For a while someone was attempting to trade it on FB Marketplace to others advertising other valuable items, it’s likely on the street or stashed somewhere not far from Colfax and Wadsworth.

Any info greatly appreciated regarding its whereabout. It was my three year old’s favorite item and am trying to help her get it back or get a sense of closure.

Hi r/LakewoodCO, Suzie Glassman again. Part 2 is out. It's about why the gap in Part 1 exists, and a lot of it comes down to who's still there to teach.

Between 2021 and 2026, the three Title I schools in my comparison lost licensed staff to resignation or retirement at about 33% a year. At the four wealthier schools, it was about 20%. That doesn't explain everything on its own, but it's the condition under which a one-teacher course is hardest to keep.

English Composition I is the clearest case. At Jefferson, one teacher held the approval to teach it from 2018 through 2023-24. The district posted her position that June and recorded a new hire in August, but no teacher appears on its rolls as approved to teach the course in 2024-25. At Wheat Ridge, three teachers held the approval. When one stepped away last year, another who'd been approved since 2018 was already there to keep the class running.

Green Mountain, at the other end of our four, produces more college credit per student than any school I looked at.

Jeffco has a program meant to keep a course from leaving with the teacher. Over four years, it put $9,733 into Green Mountain and $3,000 into Jefferson. Alameda International got nothing.

Usual caveat: this is a seven-school comparison, not a districtwide statistic, and it is not a story about anybody's kids being less interested.

If you teach in Jeffco, or you've tried to earn a master's in your subject while carrying a full load, I'd like to hear how that went. Suzie@cotln.org, or right here.
