Hats off to Ted
Larkin and Bob Klemovec for a nice “Art Festival” this year. Even
though it rained in the middle of the day only a few artists left. Those
that stayed were pleased. Nearly all the artists stated they had made back
their entry costs - plus! They indicated they wanted to be included in
next year’s festival.
It was a great event but not as profitable as it could have been if the
weather had been hotter and more liquid had been purchased for
consumption. All in all it was a good time and we are looking forward to
plans for next year’s event with the possibility of an indoor art
marketplace. Perhaps it should move from the 3rd Sunday in August to the
3rd Sunday in September as suggested by one artist. We had a lot of help
from Big Brother Big Sister and I’m sure they are willing to help again.
The time is not yet
determined, but the Q’Doba building on the corner of 39th and State Line
will be torn down. Possible plans are to rebuild with a multi level
structure to include condos and a mall????
Addis Ababa is out
and Spit Fire is in its place. Circe is now Po’s Dumpling Bar. The
Harvey Girls Gallery is gone. Angie’s
Ice Cream is now Big Lick Dairy and Dog. A Nail Spa is soon opening next
to Big Lick. Miami Ice is a bright spot on the corner of Genessee. Once in
a Blue Moon is open next to the Pet Store. A new retail space Fabuless!
has opened next to Revue. And Macaluso’s is now Scotty’s. MissKnits is
around the corner on Mercier. Down the street by Pangea is Vestor
Chiropractic and Bikram Yoga. Saigon 39 is still closed and the Westport
Maytag laundry is closed temporarily for equipment upgrade.
The wheels of
progress grind exceedingly slow. We finally have City funding for the
first phase of the pedestrian lighting project. We had hoped to have it
done this year but it now looks like completion should be some time in
2008.
