A little about Glendale...

Glendale is a city in an exclave of Arapahœ County, Colorado, United States. As of 2005, the city is estimated to have a total population of 4,771. The entire city is surrounded on all sides by the city and county of Denver. Its fire services have been provided by contract by the City and County of Denver since 2005.

Glendale is located at 39.702546, -104.933866.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.4 km² (0.6 mi²), all land.(other than a short length of Cherry Creek which bisects the City from East to West). Much of the City's limited space is devoted to commercial development. It has both office and residential high rises.

Both its intense development and reputation as a center for the region's strip clubs, largely flow from the fact that it is within the outer boundaries of Denver, but not subject to Denver's jurisdiction.

Glendale is remarkable for having its own political party, the Glendale Tea Party, which is associated, rightly or wrongly, with the several strip clubs found in the City. Local politics tend to revolve around those who support and those who oppose the Tea Party, and around homeowner's association politics which often overlap with City issues.

Glendale residents, businesses and working population enjoy the benefits of being part of a vibrant, cosmopolitan community plus having all the advantages and conveniences a small city government brings. A dynamic home-rule city charter streamlines the complete range of municipal services, allowing the city to operate without layers of bureaucracy. The City also stresses continuing education for city employees to ensure that the latest and best technological innovations are implemented in their respective fields. Glendale efficiently runs on a professionally managed and approachable Council-Manager form of government.
