We prorate your rent by the day after the first 28-day billing cycle, so you don't have to pay for a full month when you only have your mobile containers and offices for a few days.

While other companies may be able to do small container modifications, most don't have an in-house fabrication staff or 90,000 sq ft fabrication facility like we do. As a result, they outsource the work on your custom container, so you don't know who's actually building it.

My Neighbor Felix Centennial Opens in the Former Landry's Location March 3

After nearly two years of planning and construction, Lotus Concepts is set to debut the third outpost of its Mexican eatery, My Neighbor Felix, in Centennial on Friday, March 3. While fans of the first two locations in LoHi and Boulder will recognize similarities, this project also marks an evolution for the brand.

The new Felix is huge. It's located in a sprawling building off I-25 between Arapahoe and Dry Creek roads, next door to ViewHouse Centennial. (Lotus Concepts owns the ViewHouse restaurants, too.) Long ago, these two buildings held very different eateries. ViewHouse took over the former Trail Dust Steakhouse, which was known for its indoor slide and for cutting ties off overdressed guests; it shut its doors in 2009.

Decades ago, 7209 Clinton Street was the location of the Hungry Dutchman and its iconic windmill; more recently, it was home to Landry's Seafood, which shuttered in the summer of 2020. Its transition to My Neighbor Felix has been slow, held up mainly by construction and permitting delays. But now, the 11,500-square-foot space will be unrecognizable to anyone who'd dined at the chain seafood spot. With a bar that holds over 100 types of mezcal and tequila, two private dining rooms — including one on the second floor with mountain views — and eye-catching design details throughout, it has a lively, party-friendly atmosphere with an upscale edge.

Highlights of the decor include commissioned paintings by Mexican artist Erick Garcia Gomez, a large wall covered in greenery, and 300 lighting fixtures created for the project by Ático Decoración in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, many of which hang through a hole in the floor of the second level that was added to open up the space.

A 2,200-square-foot patio will debut later this spring, once the weather warms up. It will include fountain features, cabanas and an outdoor bar.

The menu at this My Neighbor Felix location was developed by chef Johnny Curiel, who joined the group as its culinary director last summer. He began cooking as a teen in his father's restaurants and, at the age of eighteen, left to spend two years traveling all over Mexico to study the food and culture. His résumé includes working for restaurateur Richard Sandoval, the TAG Restaurant Group and Big Red F, where he headed up the rebrand of Centro Mexican Kitchen in Boulder.

In order to satisfy the customer base in the Denver Tech Center, Curiel has created options that lean more upscale, with expanded steak and seafood selections; signature items include a Chilhuacle Skirt Steak and Braised Short Rib Enchiladas.

This opening is just the first of several upcoming projects for the growing Lotus Concepts group. A fourth My Neighbor Felix is slated to open at Briargate in Colorado Springs soon, and Curiel is getting ready to launch updated ViewHouse menus in early March. The team is also working on two brand-new concepts: Wonderyard Garden & Table, which will offer Mediterranean bites and cocktails at 2200 Larimer Street, and a yet-to-be-named steakhouse at 1525 Blake Street, where Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant was located for over two decades before it moved to another LoDo location last May.

My Neighbor Felix Centennial is located at 7209 Clinton Street in Centennial and will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday beginning March 3.

The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary got prime billing during Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII.

The 90-second spot hightlights storytelling and scenes from iconic Disney films, TV series, theme parks, stage productions, as well as a compilation of words and sayings written by Walt Disney, a determined young animator and entrepreneur from Kansas City who moved to Los Angeles and founded an animation studio with his older brother, Roy O. Disney.

Among the characters featured in Disney100 Special Look is of course Mickey Mouse, the company’s mascot who was first sketched by Disney.

The company’s 100th anniversary date is Oct. 16, 2023. There is a yearlong calendar of events, including Disney100: The Exhibition, a sprawling traveling spectacle that first opens in Philadelphia in the coming weeks.

“As we commemorate our historic 100th anniversary, it is remarkable to look back at Walt Disney’s legacy and his passionate pursuit of excellence that continue to propel the company forward today. We are incredibly grateful to the generations of people all over the world for being such a special part of our history and for inviting our stories and characters into their lives over the past century,” said Disney CEO Robert Iger in a statement. “Disney100 represents a celebration of all of our fans and families, and our storytellers and creative visionaries whose talents and imaginations have created the magical moments that make Disney such an enduring part of the global culture.”

Insiders say some anniversary plans were tweaked or retooled with the return of Iger after former Disney CEO Bob Chapek was shown the door late last year.

Movies participating in Disney100 include Marvel Studios’ first film of year, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, which opens in theaters Feb. 18. The 2023 film slate also icludesThe Little Mermaid, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Elemental, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, The Marvels, The Haunted Mansion and Wish.

There will also be special events and attractions at Disney’s theme parks around the globe.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Shirley Bennet said she has lots of living to do as she thanked the first responders who saved her life after she collapsed at the Arapahoe County Courthouse in February.

"You guys do this every day, many times a day, for years and years and years," she told the group. "And I probably know there are times that you've saved lives, you helped people, and not a single person said thank you. And I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Bennet, who is 69, was a prospective juror at the Arapahoe County Courthouse in Centennial on Feb. 13. Around 1:30 p.m., as the jurors returned from lunch, she collapsed outside the courtroom.

Arapahoe County Sgt. Robert Chase was the first to reach her and began CPR. Other deputies soon joined him. Bennet did not have a pulse. They used a bag valve on Bennet to help her breathe.

After several cycles of compressions, the deputies found a faint pulse.

South Metro Fire Rescue arrived at the scene about 10 minutes after the deputies started the compressions and took over caring for Bennet. They gave her an IV and inserted a breathing tube, and she began to come around.

The sheriff's office released a video of the incident on YouTube Thursday. Sgt. Chase called the response "seamless teamwork."

The day after Bennet collapsed, two members of her family went to the courthouse to thank the deputies. They relayed that she was still recovering in the hospital, but was expected to survive.

She was released from the hospital in early March.

In front of her rescuers on Thursday, Bennet said that some people try to avoid jury duty, but in this case, it saved her life.

"Because if I had not been a jury duty at that time, when I would have been at home alone — and the outcome could have been totally different," she said.

South Metro Fire Rescue has about 500 cardiac arrest calls a year and only about 10% have a full recovery and walk out of a hospital. That recovery depends on the quick response of people who are at the scene, which included deputies in this case.

J. Apfelbaum, medical director with South Metro Fire Rescue, stressed the importance of learning CPR. It was something that Bennet also spoke to. She took her first CPR class in 1969 and used her skills the very next day when she encountered a woman who had overdosed, she said.

She said she hopes everybody takes a class to learn how to do it.

It could save a life one day.

"I want to speak from my heart to know that you didn't just bless me, bless my family, who's here," Bennet said to the first responders. "You blessed me that I can go on and live and do the things that I need to do."

In total, 19 deputies were involved in saving Bennet's life, including Sgt. Chase, Deputy Sarmad Jumaah, Deputy Marc Herriman, Deputy Michael Gentry, Deputy Landon Desautels, Sgt. Christopher Chernault and Lt. Geoffrey Maisch.

A historic Austin restaurant is teaming up with the University of Texas at San Antonio Libraries Special Collections to host a memorable fundraising party for his dear friend and renowned Mexican cuisine expert, the late Diana Kennedy.

Taking place at Fonda San Miguel on Sunday, March 5 — just two days after what would have been Kennedy's 100th birthday — the special event will benefit the Diana Kennedy Cookbook Endowment, which will ensure items from this priceless collection are preserved and available for future generations of students, researchers, and chefs.

A respected world-famous authority of Mexican food, Kennedy spent most of her life traveling to every region of Mexico meeting people, learning cooking techniques, visiting markets, and studying all foods native to Mexico. She dedicated her life to preserving and promoting every aspect of Mexican cuisine and sharing her vast culinary knowledge with others.

Kennedy was close friends of Fonda San Miguel owner, Tom Gilliland, and the restaurant’s co-founder and executive chef, the late Miguel Ravago. She passed away last summer at the age of 99 on July 24, 2022.

“Many recipes at Fonda San Miguel are inspired by our dear friend Diana Kennedy," says Gilliland in a release. "Our co-chefs Blanca Zesati and Carlos Monroy, constantly pay tribute to her by offering special menu items taken from the nine cookbooks she authored. Yet, what many people may not know is that during her life’s travels to every region of Mexico, Diana also accumulated her own collection of 600 cookbooks, including eleven, rare Mexican cookbooks dating back to the mid-nineteenth century.”

Tickets for the event are $45 per person and include a welcome cocktail and appetizers, as well as the chance to hear from Kennedy's close associates and friends. Guests will also have the opportunity to view a variety of items from the author's personal collection, including research papers and correspondence, in addition to her cookbooks. The collection is part of the University of Texas at San Antonio’s Special Collections renowned Mexican Cookbook Collection, which is the largest in the nation.

The event will take place from 4 to 6 pm on Sunday, March 5, and tickets are available under 'Reservations' at fondasanmiguel.com.
