While this blog hitherto has focused on some negative aspects of future development of south Platte County, it's time to take a look at some of the positive things about south Platte County --- things we want to preserve.
As Julie Andrews sang, these are a few of my favorite things about our area of south Platte County:
- Minimum 1 acre lots generally in our area of south Platte County
- Large, open green spaces in our area of south Platte County
- That Charlotte Sawyers donated her land off Union Chapel to the Platte Land Trust.
- Abundant wildlife (deer, turkeys, groundhogs, red foxes, coyotes, bobcats, and the occasional quail)
- The fact that there aren't chain and fast-food restaurants everywhere in our area of south Platte County
- The fact that much of the 45 corridor has been kept business free
- Cafe des Amis (can be expensive but arguably the best restaurant in Platte County)
- The French Bee Bakery (a new, and welcome addition to Parkville)
- Old news, but the Vasto-Hustler feud did provide endless hours of entertainment
- The breakfasts at Frank's and Roxanne's.
- English Landing Park
- Occasional drinks at the Rusty Horse or River's Bend, or pizza at Stone Canyon.
- U-Gene's Deli in Riverside
What are a few of your favorite things?
