The Villager mailed thousands of newspapers into Greenwood Village last week. Some of you may have received two newspapers. The mass mail sorting isn’t a perfect science so if you get your regular subscription newspaper share the extra newspaper with a friend. If local residents don’t read Freda Miklin’s excellent and educational pages about candidates and updates on politics, they are missing out on very valuable information that impacts our lives and livelihoods. The Villager is mailed to paid subscribers 52 times a year for less than a candy bar costs and delivered to your mailbox. Subscribe 303-773-8313 for print or online.

Freda covered the latest Centennial Forum, look for her article in this week’s edition; there is a very competitive race for mayor. We’ve also got Littleton election on tap and the contest emerging for two board seats on the Cherry Creek School District with four candidates seeking two open seats. Cherry Creek schools is celebrating their 75th anniversary this year; the same year that Greenwood Village emerged as a new city under the leadership of DTC developer George Wallace. Both organizations have had spectacular success over their long history.

I have to applaud my good friends, the Reinke brothers, and their store’s annual Halloween spook show in the center of downtown Littleton. This is a Disney quality show along with the most amazing variety store filled with ghosts and Halloween gifts, gadgets, and costumes. Reinke’s are great boosters of downtown Littleton and iconic figures in the Littleton business community. See details in their Halloween ad on page 13.

And to all of you world travelers that reside in Arapahoe County cities, there is a very unique new international grocery store in the Woodland Shopping Center on Littleton Blvd near the ARC store. The spacious store is owned and operated by an international family with a vast abundance of Middle East and American delicacies, including some great take-home mouthwatering dishes prepared by talented chefs. The Littleton Chamber had a ribbon cutting ceremony welcoming this unique food outlet to the community. This is a world wide store; it is fun to walk the aisles and see the immense variety of delectable items, including fresh produce and some great fresh dates that I found at the store. Treat yourself and shop local!
