“I speak 3 languages. English. Spanish. And Motherfucker.” KATY (owner Katy’s Candy) KATY’S CANDY R.I.P. 08 / Interview by J&K. Counter/Culture – The Disappearing Face of Brooklyn’s Storefronts James and Karla Murray, curators and photographers Brooklyn Historical Society OPENING: Sept 10th 5:30 to 7:30 PM Show runs: September 10 – December 28 Press release: Shot with film. Press Release: Brooklyn’s neighborhood storefronts have the city’s history etched in their facades. Each store is as unique as the customers they serve and are run by owners who share a commitment to provide a special service. Many shops are lifelines for their communities, vital to the residents who depend on them for a multitude of needs. Yet such shops are disappearing on a daily basis as their neighborhoods rapidly change. The influx of big box retailers and chain stores threatens these modest institutions, while neighborhood modernization and the conformity that it brings are replacing the unique appearance and character of once colorful streets. Photographer-curators James and Karla Murray have scoured Brooklyn to observe “mom and pop” businesses from humble neighborhood stores tucked away on narrow side streets to well-known institutions on historic avenues. Through unprecedented panoramic photographs that depict entire blocks, portraits of individual storefronts, and illuminating interviews with shop owners, this exhibition reveals how neighborhood stores help set the pulse, life, and texture of their communities.

This is a small butcher shop, deli and restaurant on Rue St. Paul Ouest in Montreal, Quebec. Old Montreal has a very European flair to it and this storefront is the perfect example of that.

Primitive Arts is part of the Broadway Village Shopping Center, historically the first in the City of Tucson and the State of Arizona. The shopping center is considered an important architectural landmark. Begun in 1939, it is a masterpiece designed by the prominent Swiss architect, Josiah Joseler and built by John and Helen Murphey. It provides a commercial anchor to the residential neighborhood and architecturally blends with the residential area. Residents are very proud of this cultural facility which has always been a meeting place and has given the neighborhood a source of identity. / “Primitive Arts, Tucson, Arizona” was featured in: / BRICKS, BLOCKS, TILES AND MOSAIC MANIA/August, 2009 / A PLACE TO CALL HOME/August, 2009 / VISUAL ARTISTS OF GREEN VALLEY/September, 2009 / AROUND THE WORLD/December, 2009

The motifs of SYNTHESIZED FASHION take up standardised, life- and speechless storefront mannequins as protagonists and imbue them with idiosyncratic personalities and a language all their own. Transposed into a novel visual context and given their own stage setting, as it were, they are plunged at the deep end into a realm of captivatingly mysterious beauty and for one timeless moment, vouchsafed a depth beyond all standardisation and conformity.

This is Marianne Troia…..she’s a real neat lady. She is visiting her Aunt and we met up for a photo day!! / ! HISTORY / Welcome to Historic Old Town Temecula. Rich in history and traditions Temecula was established in 1859. Temecula get its name from the Luiseno Indian Band word “Temecunga” from “teme” meaning “sun” and “nga” meaning “the place of the sun” The Luiseno indians lived in the area during the 1700’s. Later the Spanish interpreted and spelled the word as “Temecula” . Its latest interpretation is “The City That Shines Through The Mist”. 100 years ago Shoshone Indians made this valley their home. Over the centuries many famous people “passed this way” including mountain men like Jedediah Smith, Indian scout Kit Carson and authors Helen Hunt Jackson and Erle Stanley Gardner that have had two Temecula schools name after them. In 1904, Walter Vail bought 87,500 acres (four Spanish land grants) and drove 1,000 head of cattle from Arizona. It was the last large cattle drive in the United States. It remained a working cattle ranch for the next 60 years. in 1882, when the Santa Fe Railway came through our valley, Old Town Temecula was born. The first known European to discover the valley was Father Juan Norberto de Santiago, in October 1797, while seeking a site for a new mission. Temecula was one of the stops on the route of the Butterfield Stage and in 1859 became the location of the seventh post office in California. The first post office was in San Francisco. During the later 1900’s, a developer tried to change the name of the area to Rancho California, but when Temecula became a city, voters stuck with the old town name which came from Luiseno. The name’s meaning varies, but includes “that place where the sun shines through mist.” The I-15 corridor between Los Angeles County and San Diego was completed in the early 1980’s and the subdivision land boom began. When Rancho California/Temecula incorporated in December, 1989, the citizens voted to officially name the city “Temecula”. /
