Square One Café, 136 W. Main St. in Lewisville, has been closed for two weeks but reopens at 2 p.m. today.
Karbach Brewing Co., a Houston-based craft brewery, will host a pint night tonight to celebrate the reopening. The pint night will include Karbach beers El Hopadillo Negro, Love Street, Three Legged Lab, and Karbachoberfest. Local musician Justin Pickard will also perform starting at 7:30 p.m.
Square One will also be rebranding into The Local Beer Garden by the end of September.
After the rebranding, the restaurant will also offer more beers, wines and dinner options including a small bite menu.
Travis Holladay, owner and operator of the restaurant, wrote in a Facebook post that he has experienced personal and family issues over the last year and often thought about giving up.
“But with the success of the restaurant and even more the great enthusiasm from you, our loyal guests, we choose not to,” he wrote. “We thank you for patronage and most of all for your help and patience during this time in our transition, after all that is what a community and friends are all about.”
Los Alisos Restaurant is an unlikely spot for some of the most delicious “street tacos” I’ve ever tasted.
The Mexican restaurant sits at the end of a strip center occupied by an Exxon gas station and a tire shop at the corner of Holfords Prairie Road and Business 121 in Lewisville.
On Wednesday, Steve Southwell and I stopped for a bite before shooting photos at the Coyote Drive In site just down the road. There was no line and only two other customers sat at their tables eating.
Inside, the menu and TV stations were displayed in Spanish language but the cashier spoke English and helped us with our order. We ordered at the counter and received our food at our table within five minutes.
First, we each ordered half-liter bottles of “Mexican coke” at $2.50 apiece instead of choosing popular Hispanic drinks like Juaritos or Topo Chico.
Steve ordered the Durango plate with three gorditas: chicharron, or pork skin; rajas, with green poblanos and cheese; and desebrada, with shredded beef and a spicy red sauce.
He opted to not help write the review, but said “The rajas could have used more cheese. The chicharron tasted fine, but pork skin had an odd texture, like eating fat. The desebrada was delicious and I’ll definitely order it again.”
The $7.50 plate came with rice and beans, “which were nothing special” and looked mediocre in quality.
I ordered three, two-bite tacos made with flour tortillas. They looked small in the fast-food basket with the burn marks that signify home-style tortillas. They never fell apart.
The meat in my tasty barbacoa taco was portioned well in the fluffy tortillas. It was moist and not too chewy.
The fajita taco, my least favorite, had grilled onions which added to the quality of the taco. The meat texturally felt more like ground taco meat than true fajita-quality beef, but tasted at the much higher price point.
On each taco’s last bite, I drizzled a little of the provided lime; but each time, I preferred it without the citrus addition.
None of the tacos had toppings other than meat, cilantro and onions. The barbacoa and pastor were more flavorful and less overpowered by the cilantro and onions.
The pastor taco had moderate heat. Neither of the others were spicy. I would have liked the opportunity to add jalapeños or otherwise spice up the dish—though I recognize spice isn’t in true street taco spirit.
The three tacos, at $1.40 each, were filling enough for a light lunch bit a larger dish is recommended if you’re really hungry.
The Mexican restaurant doesn’t market itself as a taco joint and its menu is dominated by other dishes. And, the menu had fewer options and toppings than Denton taco joints like Flatlanders and Rusty Taco.
But, when looking for a true “street taco”, Los Alisos fits the bill. They were much cheaper and more authentic—as if actually purchased off Mexican streets.
Flooding in the spring slowed construction on a new drive-in theater complex in Lewisville, but it also paved the way for an added benefit.
Fort Worth-based Coyote Drive-In plans to have new screens open for business in Lewisville in time for summer blockbuster season in 2016.
The bad weather in the spring set back many construction projects in Lewisville, but particularly outdoor projects, Mayor Pro Tem R. Neil Ferguson said.
If there’s good news about the delay, the heavy rain created an opening to add a sixth screen to what was originally planned as a five-screen experience, Ferguson said.
In January, neighborsgo reported that Coyote Drive-In was making plans for a Denton County location. Coyote Drive-In planned to open its second location on 35 acres in eastern Lewisville near U.S. Highway 121 Business, Sam Rayburn Tollway and Fish Hatchery Road.
It marks the return of a drive-in theater to Lewisville since a two-screen theater on Business 121 closed in the early 1970s. Coyote Drive-In opened its first theater in Fort Worth in 2013.
“This one’s gonna be even better,” said Glenn Solomon, a partner of Coyote Drive-In.
At the time of the original plans, officials hoped to open by the end of the 2015. However, plans have changed and construction should begin next month, ending just in time for 2016’s blockbuster season sometime in the spring, Solomon said.
“Right now, we are still fighting an uphill battle with construction costs,” he said. “We have not pulled the trigger even though our plan was, and is, to start in October.”
On Sept. 14, the Lewisville City Council unanimously approved an amended special-use permit for the theater, upgrading the theater from a five-screen venue to a six-screen venue.
“It has been great to work with all of the staff and elected officials in the city of Lewisville,” Solomon said. “They have been really first-class people to work with.”
“But [the new screen] isn’t the biggest change,” Solomon said. “It’s really the entrance that has changed.”
The entrance has moved down more into the middle of the property, further east on Midway Road, to improve traffic flow. The new plans also add an exit on Holford’s Prairie Road to ease traffic after movies end.
“Parkway Contractors had been working all summer preparing the site,” Solomon said at the council meeting. They hoped to start construction in early October to start next year.
Ferguson said he has seen “an avalanche of local interest” in the drive-in.
“The plans for the whole complex is just dynamite,” he said. “It has so much to offer, like entertainment that goes beyond movies such as live music.”
The best part of the drive-in, he said, is that the interest in the venue is far-reaching.
“I expect folks from several counties and, over time, more than a few states, to come sample Coyote, and many will return over and over,” he said. “It is like the roller coaster aficionados: Some will want to come just to say they have been to this drive-in. But I believe there is a solid long-term return crowd that will keep Coyote Drive-In thriving for decades.”
Ferguson, who has worked in retail site planning, said the drive-in could be a draw for other businesses to move into the area. But, he has not seen any specific plans for other developments yet, he said.
“It is fair to say that savvy developers constantly look at opportunities around the country, and their radar attuned particularly to emerging regional draws,” he said. “I can tell you successful retailers are already noticing the future potential of this location.”
Coyote representatives expect about 250,000 annual visitors to the Lewisville location, according to the Texan-Journal. The company expects 140 cars each weeknight and 750 cars each weekend night during summer months.
The Lewisville City Council unanimously approved the original special-use permit on Jan. 5 for a drive-in theater that would fit 1,500 cars on the property. The new plans show the theater can accommodate 1,711 cars.
The company plans to keep admission prices the same across locations: $8 for adults, $6 for children ages 4 to 10 and free for kids 3 and younger.
The theater will also have an open-air pavilion, a kids play area and a 10,000-square-foot restaurant. Beer and wine will be available in the restaurant.
The main difference between the Lewisville and Fort Worth locations will be that Lewisville will have an indoor, air-conditioned and heated space for the restaurant in addition to outdoor beer garden seating, Solomon said in January.
If you’ve driven around Old Town Lewisville in recent months, you may wonder what’s happening where the abandoned Piggly Wiggly once stood at 225 S. Charles St.
It’s the start of a move city officials are excited about. The homegrown Witherspoon Distillery is expanding its operations from its previous location at 545 N. Cowan Ave.
James Kunke, a spokesman for the city, said he’s also excited to see the work being done at the new location.
“They are giving a beautiful facelift to a building that has sat vacant for many years, and they will serve as another draw for visitors to historic Old Town Lewisville,” he said. “Witherspoon is a sponsor of Western Days and we all hope they will be able to open in time for the festival, but whenever they open it will be a great addition for the area.”
The 15,300-square-feet building was constructed in 1988. It’s divided almost equally in thirds for liquor production, barrel storage and the bar and retail area — with an additional outside sitting area of 4,000 square feet.
Construction is slated for completion by the Lewisville Western Days festival, Sept. 25- 26, said Quentin D. Witherspoon, master distiller and the namesake founder.
Natasha Dehart, head of sales and marketing and a founder, said the business partners looked at multiple locations all over Lewisville.
“The city has been so supportive so we really wanted to stay here. But there were a couple other locations that just ended up not being feasible cost-wise or that things just didn’t work out,” she said. “This property presented itself just kind of out of the blue.”
Dehart said that if the distillery opens by the festival, she will consider it a soft opening with an individual grand opening “about a month after the craziness from the festival dies down.”
“The city is very supportive of us going in here,” Dehart said. “We plan to be a part of pretty much every festival that happens in Old Town Lewisville.”
The company is scaling up significantly with new, customized equipment, Witherspoon said. While the new location is only about a mile from where the distillery currently stands, it will be closer to downtown Lewisville. To commemorate the upcoming move, the distillery is selling new T-shirts.
Witherspoon, a former Marine, founded the distillery with his business partners Laurent Spamer and Ryan and Natasha Dehart in 2011. He developed a passion for distilling spirits while in Bangui, the capital of the Central African Republic where he was one of five tasked with protecting American diplomats.
The Marines formed relationships with international diplomats who shared specialty beverages from across Europe with them, not anticipating the lack of refrigeration. At the time, Witherspoon was in charge of filtering drinking water from the Congo River. As the goods spoiled, Witherspoon decided to distill the wine into brandy and the beer into whiskey.
The business became licensed as a distillery in 2012 and has been pumping out whiskey and rum since. It is Witherspoon’s second attempt in the area; he tried to start a wine vineyard in Flower Mound in 1995.
In 2013, the Denton Record-Chronicle reported that founders were already working on plans for expansion, “looking at historic spaces in Lewisville to convert into a destination distillery, where the company will be able to provide tours, serve drinks and sell bottles — thanks to new legislation passed this session in the state Legislature.”
Witherspoon partnered with Glazer’s, an alcohol distribution company, and asked for its input on what customers wanted in a product instead of waiting to see if anyone would buy the final version.
“We’re throughout the state of Texas now and our expectation is that sometime in 2016, we should be able to bounce out of the state into a couple other states,” Witherspoon said. “We’re currently doing our first ever single-barrel project with Total Wine [liquor retailer] and we’re really excited about that, and we’re going to continue to experiment.”
The founders hope to experiment with brewing beer and are already looking at candidates to hire for helping with the brewing side, they said.
“Quentin’s passion has always been on the spirit side,” Natasha Dehart said. “Me and my husband have been home brewers. Our plan is to very soon acquire a brewer’s permit and start serving beer out of the bar. We’re hoping to offer our first beers later this fall.”
Distilling equipment also functions as brewing equipment. As a regular part of making whiskey, distillers essentially start making beer, adapting the process along the way. So the equipment setup can easily be modified for beer production.
“These guys are making beer all day long; it just doesn’t have hops and they end up distilling it,” Natasha Dehart said.
Right now, the company sells whiskey and rum in Goody Goody Liquor, Total Wine, Spec’s, Fossil Creek and to several independent clients in the D/FW area. The spirits are Witherspoon’s River Rum (a white rum), Bonfire (a cinnamon-infused rum), The Cross Timbers Single Malt Whiskey, and Witherspoon’s Texas Straight Bourbon and River Rum Reserve (an aged rum only sold out of the distillery).
After the expansion, Natasha Dehart said they plan to make and sell brandy, vodka and an agave spirit similar to tequila.
“Basically, we’ll be making any liquor type you’d find at a fully stocked bar only for sale in cocktails and stuff at our bar,” she said. “It will allow us to test the market and see if these are things we’d eventually want to take to a wider distribution.”
Dehart said that the Cowan distillery had about 200 visitors for tours a week, which offered quite the testing setup for what to take to the market.
“Our goal is to hold as many tours a week as we can accommodate,” she said. “We’ll probably start off with just a few days a week and then we will also have a fully stocked bar which will be open a few days a week and extend hours as demand grows.”
Witherspoon’s new location will also serve as an event venue, such as concerts, birthdays and weddings. The founders are already booking events as early as October, Dehart said.
“We actually designed this outdoor space to accommodate live acts both inside and outside,” she said. “We changed design about halfway through the process because we didn’t have any space for live acts in the original plans.”
The new location will have a shuffleboard table in the bar area, and a cornhole beanbag game setup for play outside. It may also offer a regulation-sized bocce ball court. Founders have also been in touch with multiple caterers, all within a ten-mile radius of the new location.
“Also, next to the beer garden is going to be an electrical box and paved area where we can fit two food trucks that can serve right over the fence,” Dehart said.
The old property was a lease and will be turned back over to the leaseholder. Some of the equipment won’t be put into use.
“We’re surprised by how much growth we’ve seen in the last few years,” Natasha Dehart said. “We hoped for it and planned for it, but when it actually happens, it’s exciting.”
The 20-year-old debuted with her first EP, Kaylee Rutland, in 2012 and a single “Into The Circle” featuring Colt Ford and Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling country star Jamie O’Neal in 2013. She released her second EP, Good Day to Get Gone, last summer. In June, neighborsgo reported that she was working with O’Neal on a new music tentatively set to be released later this year.
Rutland said she’s excited about the Nash Next contest.
“It really connects in today’s market with how we engage and interact online,” she said. “The entire experience has been so fun and I’ve learned a lot about the different deadlines, social engagements and the quick pace of entertainment.”
Briana Mendoza, who is on Rutland’s public relations team, said Nash Next is an innovative online talent competition that has never been done before.
“But similar to an online American Idol in that they’re looking for America’s next big star,” Mendoza said. “So far it’s pretty awesome.”
The contest is comprised of six challenges total, with four remaining. Rutland is No. 1 on the leader board.
The Challenge started June 15 and ends Dec. 6. It was open to solo modern country artists and modern country bands. Entrants were U.S. citizens or a permanent legal U.S. residents, at least 16 years old, and not employees or immediate family members of any Cumulus Media subsidiary companies.
During the audition period, artists created profiles on a web platform made specifically for the competition. Like other social networks, the artist’s mission is to engage with fans and get people to visit their stuff and vote for them by Aug. 7.
The platform gave musicians a score on how much engagement they received. Organizers selected the top-100 scoring entrants during the audition period as competitors.
Mendoza said Rutland rocked the audition period, catching the attention of contest organizers and partners before the competition truly began. Rutland released some songs she had been working on for an album earlier in the summer exclusively on Nash Next to give her a boost in popularity.
The first challenge was to do a cover video of one of three songs. There were two days of voting. The judges’ opinion was 70 percent of the score and ranked the top 85 for the challenge, cutting the bottom 15.
This week, Rutland finished the end of the second challenge – a Twitter challenge where she was tasked with creating a jingle for Nash Next. She remains in first place as contestants go into the third trial, to cover a Justin Bieber or Ariana Grande song.
Radio station 99.5 The Wolf in Dallas has been promoting her throughout the competition with tweets saying “She’s from Dallas & she’s really talented! Let’s help her out Wolf Fans!”
If Rutland holds on to first place through the end of the sixth challenge, she will receive a recording contract on Nash Next.
Rutland said she also enjoys the competition because of the other contestants and would still be happy to see one of them win.
“All of the contestants are so talented,” she said. “It’s fun watching and learning from each of them as well.”
Lewisville city officials asking for help in identifying children who were seen playing with a rabid bat between baseball fields 7 and 8 at Lake Park sometime between 10 and 11 a.m. Saturday.
The bat tested positive for rabies but the children were gone before animal services arrived on the scene and they still have not been located, said Ethel Strother, animal services supervisor for the city of Lewisville, said Friday.
Bats aren’t too common in the area, especially during the day.
“Any wild animals, even stray cats, you should call animal control and report it because they can carry rabies,” she said. “if you see any nocturnal animals during the daytime, like bats, skunks and raccoons, you should contact the authorities immediately.”
Strother said that she doesn’t want to start a panic, but the incidence is cause for concern. Bats have such small teeth that they could bite a victim who might not even know they’ve been bit.
“So it’s urgent that the kids come forward because they have a 10-day window to start the rabies vaccinations,” she said. “We’re already on Day 6.”
During that 10-day window, bite victims won’t show rabies symptoms, so once the flu-like symptoms start, it’s too late to start the treatment series.
“Nearly all the fatal cases in Texas came from a bat and people didn’t even know they were bit at the time,” she said. “The thing is, we don’t know how long the bat was there before those kids found it. Maybe another group of kids touched it first. There was the potential to have a lot of traffic in that area in that day, so we don’t know.”
If you can help identify the exposed children, call animal services at 972-219-3478. For more information, visit cityoflewisville.com.
Las Colinas is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its mustang statue one year late because of last year’s road construction. But organizers had several events lined up this week, including an opportunity to meet the sculptor, Robert Glen.
In case you missed him, neighborsgo conducted a brief question-and-answer with him.
Q: How does it feel that the sculptures have stood the test of time?
A: The bad thing about that is that I’m 30 years older. If I’m in the United States, one way or another, we take the trouble to come out here and touch the horses and check it out. What becomes more amazing all the time is that it has created such an impact in the area and people love it. Everywhere I look, there are emblems of the horses in the area. As far back as when Ben Carpenter was still around and I would stay with him when I was in town, he and I used to come down here every night just to look at the horses. He just wanted to see them like I did.
Q: Now from my understanding, you’re from Africa?
A: I was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and lived there most of my life so far. For the last 25 years, I’ve been living in [a] Tanzania National Park, where I do my sculpture animals from life and Sue [Stolberger, his partner] paints from life. Even the horses.
These horses were actually the original mustangs in America. That breed, from the south of Spain in a place called Jerez, was brought here by the Spanish conquistadors. So I went there to study those particular horses, the Andalucía horses. Every horse is born a different color but they end up white, which is interesting. When they brought the original horses, they were stallions for fighting and conquering.
Q: How long were you in Spain?
A: For three weeks. It was fantastic. The family I stayed with has continued the breeding line of those horses that started about 2,000 years ago.
Q: How important was that trip for the outcome of the statues?
A: I think everything. It helped me know what this particular breed of horse is like and helped me depict it in very close representation. They galloped the horses around for me and showed me their behavior. So I had a pretty intensive study for that time.
From day one of the project, it took seven years to make these horses. And from day one, we traveled with a film team who filmed the whole project all the way through in different stages, and a lot of still photographs. They were there in England during the bronzing at the foundry too. [The film can be seen at http://www.ictn.tv/specials/06302008-14.]
I went to school in Kenya. I had other things to do in my life than school. I started getting involved with birds at the museum when I was 12. My parents then realized I was a little bit strange because I didn’t want to get involved with school. So I was introduced to the ornithologist, who is probably more responsible for my natural history life than anybody.
Eventually, I went to Denver, Colo., when I was 16. I was accepted by taxidermist and animal sculptor Coleman Jonas. I thought I knew everything and he very quickly straightened me out. That three years was everything about where I am today, because of what he said to me and what he taught me about how to look and what to do.
GRAND PRAIRIE — Robert Soto, a Lipan Apache from McAllen, led a jubilant Apache song at the Chickasaw-owned Lone Star Park on Saturday morning to open Everlasting Fire, an event commemorating Texas’ annual American Indian Heritage Day.
The day was set aside by state law three years ago as a time for American Indians to promote their culture and stand up for tolerance and rights. In addition to songs and dancing, the day included discussions about the Indian Child Welfare Act and the legacy of American Indians.
After the song, Lydia Gonzales led attendees in an opening prayer, followed by Soto’s request in song for God’s guidance.
American Indians remain far from having equal rights, Soto said, asserting that he experiences discrimination every day.
“Today, you’ll see the story of native Indians is a survival story,” he said. “We have survived what some call the greatest genocide in all human history.”
American Indians and Alaska natives made up 1 percent of the U.S. population in 2014, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Soto said he hopes celebrations like Everlasting Fire will encourage American Indians in areas like Dallas “to unite and get more tribes the recognition they need for governmental privileges.”
“We need to make our voices heard,” said Peggy Larney, founder of American Indian Heritage Day.
It starts, she said, with letting others know that American Indians are still part of society.
“Many people in the Dallas area think we died. … So we want them to know we still live here,” she said. “This day is very important historically because many others don’t realize genocide happened in their own country.”
Larney said the heritage day aims to help younger generations feel pride in their culture’s history.
“We have youth working together to promote native Indian pride and nationalism, which for a while was suppressed,” she said. “But they’re coming out now and becoming leaders in their cities.”
Stephanie Vielle, who grew up on a Blackfoot Indian reservation in Montana, said the fight for tolerance begins between tribes. If tribes are struggling to understand one another’s customs, they shouldn’t expect non-American Indians to understand tribal cultures either, she said.
Vielle said military service is one avenue through which younger American Indians are finding renewed interest in their heritage.
“In the military, they reinforce military culture,” she said. “So, like me, many native veterans have to undo themselves from that and reconnect with their native tribes like an outsider, which makes you appreciate other tribes.”
Cliff Queton, a Crowley resident of Kiowa Indian heritage, said he enjoys celebrations like Saturday’s. He and his two grandsons set up a teepee outside the venue.
“This is just a taste of native Indian culture,” Queton said, “but we enjoy that people can learn about a culture that isn’t their own.”

SANGER — Jay Coin always enjoyed cooking barbecue, but he spent seven years building up the nerve to open a restaurant.
His wife, Mindy, finally convinced him to open Texas Smoke BBQ Co. last July in a small travel trailer.
By January, he had moved into a building next door. And this week, less than a year after opening, the business will begin operating in a new spot, a historic building in downtown Sanger.
“She knew I wanted to do it and was 100 percent behind me and said, ‘Do it. You’ll never know what will happen unless you try,’” Jay Coin said. “That’s what I did.”
Coin said he is “big on downtown” and hopes the downtown Sanger community will continue to pick up. He said recently he couldn’t wait to reopen his restaurant on Sanger’s square to help downtown thrive.
“The downtown [Denton] area has exploded, and I love the old buildings and the feel of the old town,” he said. “Denton’s done a nice job of bringing the Square back to life, so hopefully that will happen here.”
He said other local businesses can help each other.
“Babe’s [Chicken Dinner House] is a big draw here, so hopefully with the out-of-town people going to eat at Babe’s, they’ll notice our place and say, ‘Maybe next time, we’ll come out and try this place,’” he said.
The previous location of Texas Smoke BBQ has been closed for more than a week, with a sign on the door directing people to the new location on the Sanger square at 205 Bolivar St. If all goes as planned, it’ll open Tuesday, Coin said.
“We were doing good enough to move out of the trailer, and now we’ve just outgrown the place we were in,” Coin said.
The Coins said they have always liked the Bolivar Street building, which is bigger and offers more room for seating.
“We always said if we ever happened to do a restaurant or a bar or something, we’d love to get this building because it’s a rustic, really neat old building,” Jay Coin said.
Mindy’s father and one of his employees at his construction company have done most of the work to help them cut costs. They’re upgrading to commercial equipment for the move, which should reduce production costs in the long run, he said.
The menu will largely remain the same, though Jay Coin is hoping to add chicken, turkey and ham, which had been offered as specials at the other locations.
To help with the new location, Coin has brought in Don Jost, who owned Wimpy’s Hamburgers when Coin was in high school. Jost will be working on the “day-to-day things” that will help Coin run the restaurant.
Coin said he prides himself on using fresh ingredients and never reheats his food. Texas Smoke BBQ Co. will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. or until they sell out — whatever comes first.
“I’m trying to set myself apart from other places and, what I can, I get local to help with freshness,” he said.
Mindy Coin ran a salon in the suite next to the restaurant but closed it to help her husband. Now she rents a booth at another salon in town, squeezing appointments in between her responsibilities at the restaurant.
“It’s something he’s always wanted to do and he can’t do it by himself,” she said. “It works out because I can schedule my appointments in the mornings or evenings and work around my kids’ schedules.”
The restaurant has been popular, with some regulars coming up from Denton to dine.
Glen McDaniel, who runs a gun store inside Sanger Hardware, has eaten at Texas Smoke daily since Coin started serving barbecue in a trailer. McDaniel said he can’t say enough about the restaurant’s cobblers or the meaty ribs.
The food and service were good and consistent, but the previous locations were too small, McDaniel said.
“I’m glad to see them get out of there,” he said. “They’re really crowded over there and were getting great clientele. I’ve walked over there before and had to come back over here and wait a while and go back because they were really full. All the seats were taken because they get a lot of business. But it’s always worth the wait.”
