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 />

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 />
