One of my very favorite things about Stapleton is the way my block, with 8 (soon to be 9) kids under 5 has just blossomed into a kid-zone. Our sidewalks are littered with communal toys. Every evening, the entire neighborhood comes out to play, on the sidewalks or front porches or house to house. Even Maggie, the dog, joins in. They're all becoming good friends. I know this scene is repeated on countless Stapleton blocks. How lucky we are to have this!
