Fire Rated Studio

I forgot to mention that Vic got the plans approved at Regional for construction, but they are requiring us to make the Studio area have a 1 hour fire rating. That won't be too big of a deal. We are changing the drop ceiling tiles for fire rated tiles, installing fused link fire dampers for the HVAC that serves the studio, and installing fire rated doors at the Studio entrance, and the studio storage area. The cost will be a little higher, but not significantly...

Tracy went to a place in town called Old World Bagels this week. He gave her some samples and I had a cheddar bagel, a cream cheese danish, a raspberry muffin, and a pepperoni calzone. They carry a full line of pastries, bagels, and sandwiches. They also deliver at 5:00am and have no minimum order quotas! The food was all incredible (although I did not try the bagel dog - a hotdog wrapped inside plain bagel dough and cooked). We will definitely be using them for some of our food items!


Here is some info from their website:
Olde World Bagel & Deli was founded in 1997 as a franchise of Chesapeake Bagels. From the outset, the concept was to provide authentic, high quality, fresh, and healthy products in a quick-serve, yet upscale setting. Olde World operates its own bakery within the store to guarantee that customers have fresh products from which to choose. In 2000, management decided to operate as a fully local operation and cancelled the franchise agreement, changing the name to Olde World Bagel.

The store is located in a commercial center on the south side of Colorado Springs within walking distance of seven hotels, shopping, a 20 screen movie complex and the 8,000 seat World Arena, an event center for conventions, concerts, and sporting events.

Olde World Bagel and Deli provides retail services from its single location. In addition, it provides bagels on a whole basis to a large number of food service operations, businesses, restaurants and cafes. Finally, the company provides catering services to businesses, events, and organizations for breakfasts, brunches or lunches.
