Coming and Going
By Barbara Harrington


Once again it was a quiet month in Andover Glen for houses listed for sale. We have one home for sale.

As you probably heard on the news, JC Penney sold its chain of Eckerd drug stores to a Canadian firm. The new company has elected to close all Eckerds in Colorado and stop construction of any new ones. Those currently in the process of being built appear to be going forward at least to the stage where the building’s exterior is completed. So, we’ll all be anxiously awaiting the completion and new ownership of the property at Belleview and Parker Road.

The TGI Friday’s in Pioneer Hills continues to move along.



Monument Plans Finalized
By Barbara Harrington


I am very excited to announce that the Board has concluded their deliberations on the design and materials for our new entryway monument and a contract should be signed shortly. If all goes according to plan, we should have our newly designed monument in place in June. The Andover Glen Park and Dillon entrance pillars will be getting a facelift, too, as their letters will be replaced with shiny new ones. The new monument and new letters on the other pillars should give our park and community entrances a nice, long needed facelift. They have not been updated since they were built in 1985.

With the warmer weather and the chance to get outside to work on our own homes and yards, perhaps each of us can find something on our own property that we can improve to enhance our community’s appearance.
