June 6th Art Hop @ M Street Arts Complex, 1419 M St, Fresno, 5-8 PM, “Free Ice Cream with the Artists” I’m in Studio #13. I’ve left up the Historical Perspectives for another month since I’ve been nicely asked to do so… When this project came to its end at the Bee, I had quite a few on my to-do list. I’ve unearthed nine of these and put stories to them. Some quite interesting: Warnors Theater, Monument to Dr. Rowell, Meux Home, dueling banks: First National & Farmers, Clovis Bank robbery of 1924, Fresno’s 40 & 8 Boxcar, and the Fresno Water Tower. Stop on by! I’m in Studio #13.

Art Hop this Thursday April 4th, 5-8 pm, at M Street Arts Complex…After the good turnout at my gallery last month, I’ll keep up the Historical Perspectives show for at least another month due to the interest in it.
What I have done is change it up a bit, with over ten new photos up with accompanying stories. Among them: Teilman’s Bridge to Nowhere, Zapp’s Park, Temple Bar Building, the original Fresno Auditorium, the Fresno Arch, Lane’s Bridge, South Pacific Rail Depot, Gottshcalks and the original Fresno High School building.
