What Would Mr. Marcus Say?
I think it’s pretty obvious that he would not approve of the tear down of his historic house in Lakewood. Especially since the owners had applied for historic status when they bought it; and I think we all are aware of Mr. Marcus‘ level of taste and quality. The owner’s reason? Make it more energy efficient. I’m sorry, that just doesn’t work for me - tear something precious down to build again? Not exactly green thinking. I’m reminded of the tear down of the stone and slate masterpiece at the corner of Rheims and Armstrong that had been last year. When Susan Palma went up to the demo contractor and asked what in the heck they were doing, he said, “The inside was bad.” She brought herself up to her full 5′3″ height and said, “Excuse me. The inside was not bad, I did it.”
Sip, Shop, Stroll, and Sing Along at Victory Park Tonight
There are several things I prefer to do with my spare time. Sipping on a summer cocktail (or two), shopping, and listening to live music on a beautiful night are just a few of the activities that top my list. Lucky for me, and all of you who enjoy these same things, Victory Park will cater to all of your wants tonight. Enjoy a complimentary cocktail at the W (yum!), and stroll from store to store, while enjoying live music offerings. The festivities begin at 5 and end at 9.
Picture Perfect Frames at Nest
I have seen these Neo-Baroque style picture frames in white the past couple times I have been in Nest, but yesterday was the first time I had seen them in hot pink and cerulean blue (Love ‘em!). Although I don’t often like to pay $45 (small) or $65 (large) for a single picture frame, I think these justify an exception.
