the best deals for shipping gifts. When I<br />
was a child back east, we would all wait<br />
in great anticipation for Grams California<br />
box of gifts. California foods and clothing<br />
for our less fortunate family members<br />
that were Portuguese immigrates. My dad<br />
would put the boxes in the living room<br />
and family members of all ages would strip<br />
naked and try on different clothes. By the<br />
end of the day, we would be giving them<br />
our old clothes and even our gifts. But it<br />
did instill a sense of understanding for<br />
not only how fortunate we were for how<br />
little we have when you see others with so<br />
little. As an immigrant family, you get to<br />
see life how it realty is for some and why<br />
I have never turned away any charity for<br />
free advertising or even helping a small<br />
business grow despite not having enough<br />
money. Businesses are surprised to know<br />
we offer free ads for help wanted.<br />
So we wish everyone a safe happy holiday<br />
and proud to be a part of helping our<br />
LGBT grow and thrive.<br />
The Holidays are nearly upon us, and that<br />
means it’s a busy time for everyone. So we<br />
want you to ship early so you can save that<br />
extra cash for frolic and a little for those of<br />
us in desperate times made worse by a less<br />
than compassionate administration, imho.<br />

AdamsArtExpose’ ART<br />
DREAM FLOATING - <strong>THE</strong> SUPPER COOL ART OF LEAH YERPE<br />
Located behind the Mercedes-<br />
Benz dealership on Highway <strong>11</strong>1/<br />
East Palm Canyon. the Backstreet<br />
Art District has been featuring<br />
local artists for the past 5 years.<br />
The complex is composed of a<br />
variety of spaces where artists<br />
have their galleries and some also<br />
have a working studio. Most of<br />
the galleries are open from <strong>11</strong> - 4<br />
weekdays, however, the working<br />
artists maintain their own personal<br />
schedules and flexibility is the<br />
concept. All of the galleries are<br />
open the first Wednesday of every<br />
month from 6-9 p.m. for the<br />
FIRST WEDNESDAY ART WALK<br />
displaying recent art that has been<br />
created.<br />
There is a rich diversity<br />
representing the arts found in the<br />
Backstreet District. A few of the<br />
artist's galleries were featured in<br />
this column during the past year.<br />
The Maxson Studio and Gallery is<br />
one featured in the DDG. Included<br />
in their exhibits is the art and craft<br />
of Greg and Linda Maxon. Linda<br />
works in ceramics and found<br />

organic objects and Greg works with<br />
wood in constructing creative works<br />
from decorative boxes to unique<br />
tables. they also feature the work<br />
of other artists and craftspeople.<br />
The Tom Ross Gallery was also<br />
featured last year. Tom works on<br />
clear acrylic panels painting images<br />
on them. These individual panels<br />
are arranged around the inside of<br />
the gallery showing a continuous<br />
painting evolving from underwater<br />
to landscape fantasy scenes. Each<br />
panel tells a story within itself and<br />
also acts entirely as a stand-alone<br />
painting which can be removed from<br />
the panorama of paintings.<br />
includes her works along with other<br />
artists she features. All of these<br />
new galleries along with those that<br />
have existed in the District will have<br />
many new surprises and enticements<br />
included in this week's Wednesday<br />
Art Walk. For art lovers and anyone<br />
looking for an exhilarating option for<br />
Wednesday evening entertainment<br />
the Backstreet District is your answer<br />
for this week.<br />
Questions, comments, suggestions,<br />

Several new galleries have arisen<br />
during the past year, including, The<br />
Studio, featuring the photography of<br />
Chari Godakanda which also houses<br />
his studio and darkroom, along<br />
with his book design and printing<br />
business. The gallery of Marconi<br />
Calindas is also a new addition. He<br />
works in a variety of media creating<br />
both two and three-dimensional<br />
artworks. His work will be featured<br />
in a future addition of the DDG. his<br />
closest neighboring gallery has the<br />
artist Carina Cravcenco. Her gallery<br />
