Hal Samples Opening
We see them almost daily! At times we drive past them without noticing and other times we stare and wonder! Sometimes we ignore them and sometimes we give. Artist Willie Baronet and Gallery owner Hal Samples, who at one time was homeless, share a dynamic exhibit entitled Home that will give us all pause to wonder the next time we see a homeless person and their signs - each with its own significant meaning.

Classic Burlesque
The Amour Show
With the resurgence in Burlesque theatrical performances sweeping the nation and International competitions heating up, fitness clubs and gyms are adding the dance technique to a line up of classes along with Zumba and other popular dances so I sat down with Shoshana Portnoy (shown) over lunch recently for a Q & A about the vintage art form.
