'Is there a lake in Lakewood? Maybe we can put up a bridge...'

La Calle Doce's Lakewood location will finally reopen its doors today--officially--after the August fire that shut down the beloved Mexican seafood restaurant.

To help celebrate the restaurant's Grand Re-Opening, Mayor Tom Leppert, representatives from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and live mariachi bands (will they never cease?) will be on hand for a 6 p.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony. Fueling the celebratory mood will be complimentary margaritas, wine and appetizers.

All we ask is please, don't request "La Cucaracha" from the mariachis, lest it tempt someone to burn the place down once and for all.
