Marion Patterson says the past two decades have flown by, and in that time she’s designed more kitchens and baths than she can count as owner of the Kitchen and Bath Center in Evergreen.

“No two projects are alike, and it’s never boring,” Patterson said of her business in Evergreen North, the shopping center between Safeway and the post office. “Every room is different, and clients are different. The way people approach things is different.”

Mark Hollandsworth’s life is all about destiny.

It was destiny that made a deal in Joplin, Mo., fall through, so he didn’t move his sign business out of his home. It was destiny that spared his daughter from a tornado that tore through Joplin last year.

And, most importantly, it was destiny that brought him through Evergreen on vacation, where he met Chris and Sue Krieg, the owners of Evergreen Sign Co. The Kriegs sold Evergreen Signs to the Hollandsworths last month.

A possible answer to Evergreen residents’ questions about a rezoning notice at the former Albertsons grocery store emerged at the Jeffco planning commission meeting on May 9.
If the rezoning and business negotiations are successful, a Tractor Supply Co. store could occupy the large building at Evergreen Parkway and Stagecoach Road.

Finding a place to properly dispose of unused medications no longer has to be a such a hassle, thanks to a free disposal drop box recently installed in the pharmacy department at the King Soopers in Bergen Park.

The drop-box service is being funded by Evergreen Rotary as part of the statewide Colorado Medication Take Back Project, which so far has 12 locations, including nine on the Front Range and two in Summit County.
