Good morning, and welcome to the 4th edition of Jeffco Crew! 

![](https://jeffcocrew.com/content/images/2025/01/Screenshot-2025-01-27-at-4.25.34-PM.png)

Lookin' pretty pleasant this week!

## 🧠 Tips from ya'll

Don't tell my wife but there's a new [Heaven Creamery location in Arvada](https://www.instagram.com/p/DFWVpPNyWBq/?ref=jeffcocrew.com). Aaaaand a new soft-serve joint, [Power Cone](https://www.instagram.com/thepowercone?ref=jeffcocrew.com). Starting Wednesday a [4mi stretch of road](https://www.instagram.com/p/DFRKOXaTT9F/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) on Lookout Mountain will be closed at night. A weirdly [fascinating look](https://www.instagram.com/p/DFOUmTBy-nd/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) at how 32k road signs in the area are maintained. By the way, [avoid 38th and Wads](https://www.instagram.com/p/DFOWz24PI1%5F/?ref=jeffcocrew.com) like the plague. The [one-stop source of truth](https://jeffcolibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/events?ref=jeffcocrew.com) for Jeffco Library events focused on young kiddos. And eggs are in short supply, so the Arvada folks are [sharing egg sightings in their sub-reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/ArvadaCO/?ref=jeffcocrew.com).

*👆 Thanks to readers Hannah, Kelly, Sean, and Nicky this week.*
