MO — When you unroll the history of the Englewood Theater
wants to keep its familiar face along Winner Road
“We just can't be going around and seeing historic structures collapse
and to the degrees that they can new life can be breathed into them,” said Brent Schondelmeyer
President of Friends of the Englewood Theater
later turning into the live performance venue known as KC Opry
Country music legend Garth Brooks memorialized it in his song The Old Stuff
“First gig we ever played as an artist was at the Kansas City Opry,” said Brooks in a 2023 visit to Kansas City to announce his new radio venture
The nonprofit has signed a real estate contract to acquire both and the parking lot behind
It’s a story nearby business owner April Preston of KC Property Solutions knows all too well
She has attempted to save the space multiple times before
She said the owners weren’t quite ready to part with the building at that time
“It is the only dilapidated building structure left here in Englewood
The rest of it has been amazingly revived over the past six to 12 years that I've been here and basically this will bring everyone together
This will be the final project that gets done,” said Preston
referencing the revival in the Englewood Arts area
The group has the support of the City of Independence
which is funding a feasibility study about what would survive in that commercial space
“I think our hope is just to get something in here that makes sense and that can actually be viable
there's a lot of theaters across the metro
so we just want to make sure that we're getting a niche for this area that works,” said Charlie Dissell
Next steps include getting the theater on the National Register of Historic Places. That will allow the group to apply for historic preservation tax credits. The nonprofit is also actively fundraising to finish the purchase. Right now, the group has raised around $7,000 out of $600,000 needed. You can learn more about donating here.
There is no word yet on what could move into the location in the next three to four years
there will be a public meeting on March 10 at 6:00 PM at the Englewood Arts Center
where people can learn more and give input

DPC Companies and Ogilvie Partners have acquired Englewood CityCenter
and sometimes competitors — closed the transaction on December 20
following several years of working to secure the asset
The acquisition of the ~220,000-square-foot mixed-use office
and multifamily property ushers in an exciting new era for the development
Englewood CityCenter enjoys an easy-to-access location at the northeast corner of Hampden and Santa Fe
adjacency to RTD light rail/parking and top-tier retailers
and enthusiastic support from the City of Englewood
positioning it as one of the most promising infill redevelopments in the Denver metro
“It’s exciting to see that Englewood CityCenter has been purchased by local long-term ownership that can take this incredible piece of infill real estate and invest to uncover its amazing development potential,” said Lyons
“I’m thrilled that it ended up with a dynamic team of owners and developers with a strong connection to the community.”
The development’s long history is a familiar tale of changing customer preferences and demographics
the Cinderella City Mall was the largest indoor shopping mall west of the Mississippi
vacancies mounted and Cinderella stood in rags
The City of Englewood initiated redevelopment in 1991
demolishing the mall in 1998 and reinvigorating the site as the home of city offices
the development’s retail portion struggled and was ultimately foreclosed upon
with an out-of-state company owning and managing the property
The City of Englewood is eager to find a viable path to making Englewood CityCenter a central part of the city’s future
DPC and Ogilvie are working with the city on a master redevelopment plan integrating a long-term vision to create a true community center with high-density multifamily housing
and a walkable live/work/shop experience that will include shopping
The center was 40% leased at the time of closing
An adjacent Walmart Supercenter (not part of the acquisition) serves as a strong shadow anchor
DPC and Ogilvie are excited about the development’s potential and elated to play a role in helping the City of Englewood build an even more vibrant future

Charlotte County commissioners gave Community Services Director Tommy Scott the green light March 11 to initiate plans to reopen storm-ravaged Englewood Beach
Storm surge from hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024 displaced sand
people have continued to visit the beach by parking in the street or nearby areas after sand was sifted and removed from the roadway
Appearing before the Board of County Commissioners
Scott outlined two options that will run concurrently
The first option involves partially opening the south end of the beach parking area
with fencing closing it off from the damaged boardwalk
Chipped pavement and asphalt in the area of the basketball court has already been smoothed out
and the court can be used until it is resurfaced during the second option
After being washed away during Helene and Milton
parking bumpers in the parking lot will be replaced at a cost of $2,000
Funding sources for the first option will come from the county and insurance
with no reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency
Option one will cost the county $10,000 plus $4,000 a month for port-a-lets and $4,000 per month for signage
Scott said vandals have been removing temporary signage on a nearly daily basis and are regularly being replaced
Permanent signage will be installed during option two
new basketball court surface and other improvements and replacements will have been made at a projected cost to the county of $323,000 plus $4,000 per month for the port-a-lets and the Property in the Open insurance cost of $23,000
The timeframe for completion of the projects and a total reopening is five to six months
whose sentiments were echoed by his fellow commissioners
Scott has been working with Charlotte County Transit to have Americans with Disabilities Act compliant buses run from 10 a.m
with pickup at the top of the hour from Tringali Park
to Chadwick Park near the maintenance yard on Manasota Key
Return trips from the Key will be at the bottom of the hour
The urgency to reopen and pay upfront before going to FEMA for reimbursement is due in large part to Englewood Beach’s popularity among locals and tourists
It is a major attraction for visitors to the county
and Commissioner Chris Constance said Tourism Director Sean Doherty said the Tourist Development Tax “is staying flat.”
Constance cited TDT collections of $1,068,000 in January compared to $1,097,000 in January 2024
we’re statistically in the same ballpark,” he said
Constance said he agreed with Doherty’s assertion that “people heard we had a hurricane and kind of changed their plan.”
Constance noted that while visitors showed up that year
they saw the damage Ian caused and opted to forego visiting Charlotte County the following season
He said it took Charlotte County 14 years to “close out” Hurricane Charley damages
and now the county is “working with five to six storms.”
“Let’s hope next season we’re better suited and we have a quiet year
The beach opening’s going to help,” Constance said

shaping not only my career path but also my personal identity and aspirations
I found myself drawn to the enchanting world of cooking
enticed by the tantalizing aromas and vibrant flavors that emanated from my grandmother’s kitchen
in the warm embrace of tradition and family
One meaningful achievement that stands out amidst my culinary journey is my graduation with high honors in Baking and Pastry Arts
This milestone not only marked the culmination of years of hard work and dedication but also solidified my commitment to pursuing a career in the culinary arts

Former Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario Kranjac is expected to enter the race for the Republican nomination for governor within the next few days
A former two-term mayor of Englewood Cliffs and a close friend of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
Kranjac became the first Republican mayor of tiny Englewood Cliffs (pop
5,342) in 40 years after the retirement of Joseph Parisi
Parisi had become mayor a decade earlier after the death of his father
He was re-elected to a second term by a ten-point margin in 2019
Kranjac will have the backing of Mike Crispi, the chairman of America First Republicans of New Jersey. Crispi, who launched an exploratory committee last year
said tonight that he will not run for governor
While Crispi didn’t mention Kranjac by name
he said the candidate “has stood unwaveringly for President Trump and the MAGA base over the last nine years” and will be able to unite Republicans and appeal to independents to forge a winning general election campaign
He will join a race that includes State Sen
including former Burlington City Mayor Jim Fazzone
Kranjac has not been invited to participate in the New Jersey Globe Republican Gubernatorial Primary Debate on February 4
The New Jersey Globe first reported Kranjac’s exploration of a run for governor in June
- A major apartment complex project was approved this week in Englewood
The address of the new development, 401 Englewood Parkway, has changed a lot since it was part of one of the biggest malls west of the Mississippi
"This area used to be Cinderella City Mall and was a really great income resource for this city," said Rita Russell
the lot is a strip mall with a handful of businesses and an empty storefront owned by Kimco Realty
Final approval was given to turn the shopping center into an apartment complex
Kimco is expected to work with a third-party developer whose name has yet to be determined
multi-family residential apartment project
which should be about four or five stories tall with the parking garage as well," said Will Charles
community development department planner for the City of Englewood
The concept was brought to the city by Kimco
who said a future phase could include a 120-room hotel or more residential units on the lot
Denver7 recently sat down with an Englewood Affordable Housing Task Force member about the need for more low-cost units
"One shocking thing we discovered in our process was that the City of Englewood is currently short by approximately 2,500 units
that really amplified how important and urgent this problem is," said Amber Reyes
Denver7 asked the city just how many units of the newly approved project would be offered for lower incomes
there's not an exact number of how many affordable housing units are required in a development project," said Charles
That will soon change as the city council is supposed to take recommendations from the Affordable Housing Task Force and can potentially come up with a certain requirement for new developments
so we made recommendations to the city council to pick a more meaningful percentage for future developments," said Reyes
Even though the project has already been approved
Kimco has committed to following whatever the council decides
"There is a commitment to meet any requirements that the city codifies," said Charles
do all the units have to be affordable?" Denver7's Danielle Kreutter asked
anything that is adopted by city council as far as affordable housing requirements
the applicant will be required to meet those," said Charles
The approved ordinance reads: "The project shall meet all affordable housing requirements in effect at the time of building permit submittal
including any applicable requirements adopted by the Englewood City Council."
it doesn't mean that I don't think we need affordable housing
but how we get it is where we differ," said Russell
She said she's very concerned about adding high-density housing to the city while also removing retail opportunities for residents
"All of the affordable housing we had in District One
they tore it all down and built duplexes that cost $ 1 million to $ 1.5 million per side," she said
"The one thing that I would have favored at the very beginning was to build duplexes
that weren't so massive and two-stories next to an 800 square foot house."
She said the council would discuss affordable unit requirements at a study session on March 24 before bringing the issue to a regular council meeting
"It could take a little bit of time for this to happen
I really felt like that's why Kimco agreed to whatever we have in place at the time of the building permit," said Russell
Denver7 has contacted Kimco to see when they plan to submit their building permit
A spokesperson tells us that since they're currently within the standard appeal period following approval
they cannot disclose that date at this time
"We've enjoyed working closely and constructively with the Englewood technical staff throughout the process
and we're excited about seeing this property repurposed into another vibrant development that complements and enhances the Englewood community."
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right
lending a helping hand and following through on promises
opened its newest store in Englewood on March 13
The store on Taywood Road marks the seventh Grocery Outlet location in Ohio
Englewood’s new Grocery Outlet store is owned and operated by a mother and son team
"What makes grocery outlet unique is that it's an extreme value retailer
So it's main focus is delivering as much value to the customer as possible," Jones said
"And they do that through a combination of different strategies
Grocery Outlet has more than 500 stores across the nation
They sell name brand and fresh products for a fraction of the price
The company often sells goods for 40 to 70% less than big retailers through "opportunistic" buying
or a supplier just needs to get rid of their inventory for some reason and they're just getting rid of it at a low price
and then pass those savings on to the end consumer," Jones said
they also have their own private label brand — so that way we can also provide the staple items that are not going to come up opportunistically as often at affordable prices as well."
He said they decided to apply to run the Englewood store after his mother discovered Grocery Outlet’s cheaper prices for her family in 2016 and 2017
go-to store where we did all of our shopping," he said
"And after going to our local store for a bit she met the operator there and became friends with him and got introduced to the business model side of it.”
Jones and his mother were selected to run the new store in Englewood
"I actually joined right after I graduated university
So the timing kind of lined up really well," he said
"I did my graduation walk and then the next week I was training in stores."
Jones said the community has expressed gratitude for bringing a store to their community that experiences higher levels of food insecurity
we really needed something like this,'" he said
"So I think the main reason is just like the need was there."
He said he is proud to offer more affordable prices during a time of rising costs and inflation
“I think our prices are still on the low end which actually kind of helps in an inflationary environment because we can still provide that value to customers," he said
