Foothills mall ‘town halls’ begin, community kicks in

FORT COLLINS — Monday evening’s first of two town halls this week, the second is tonight, began as the next several years of remaking the Foothills mall look to do: casually — then picking up speed.

A muralist painted at the Elizabeth Hotel’s façade, at its entrance. A sign on the door said no masks OK for the vaccinated, though others should wear them. A Louisiana native and Texas resident who’d come to town with Prism Places greeted and checked-in guests.
