The art gallery is broken down into a few spaces, all winding into each other through doorways. The space is also used for events, weddings, receptions, yoga classes, you name it. I was lucky enough to check it out last Friday during the opening ceremony of "Crop It" - an exhibit being put on by the Visual Arts program at IPFW. The displays looked beautiful in the space and the talent was immense! They had a bar set up serving beer and wine (I don't think they can serve spirits?). The beers were local which was a plus! Parking can be an issue so be prepared to park on the street / potentially several blocks away. Can be a bit sketchy at night. Overall the space was lovely and I can't wait to attend another event or check out a new show sometime soon!

So glad that an event happened to bring my attention to The Wunderkammer gallery. This was new for…read moreme and probably a place i would not have planned to see. Now I'm going to watch for future events here just to see and learn about the talented artists in our community. What a nice venue with creative people who seem to care very much about bringing together community and connecting people. Clearly they are passionate about what they do and the artists they support. Look for parking behind the building and the main entrance is there also (even though the street address is Fairfield Ave, parking is behind). A daylight visit is also in order to see the murals painted by local on the buildings exterior. I'm not sure how often artists works are rotated, but I asked how to learn about things happening there and was told the best way is to follow the Wunderkammer Company on Facebook. If you have an interest in local artists, check them out.

We had Black Creek provide flowers for my daughters wedding. Susan has a definite talent for…read moredesigning beautiful and memorable arrangements. She knows her flowers and the process to grow, cut and arrange them to meet your expectations. My wife and daughter meet at Black Ridge a couple times to discuss the brides ideas and develop a plan to meet her wants. Susan also held a final meeting a couple weeks prior to the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page and agree on last minute things. On the big day Susan and Tom were right on time to deliver the flowers. They went right to work putting things in the right spot and cleaning up after themselves. Now for the flowers...my wife and daughter were over the top pleased with the freshness, color, arrangement and overall beauty of the designs. The brides bouquet was a perfect size and just beautiful. The bouquet held up through all the handling and toss. The table flowers were simple and attractive. They didn't detract from the social interactions by being over sized, wide spread or in your face. They just blended nicely. The lapel flowers were very attractive as the were designed to be simple, worn close/flat to the lapel and masculine looking. The design was very innovative and attractive plus simple to pin on. The wrist corsages were simple, not fluffy or dangling, and beautiful of course. The flower girls had very attractive flower rings that were easy to manage and secure on a 5-8 year olds head. Susan also created a pair of flower arrangements that were attached to the arch behind the minister. These flowers were artificial but you would never know it. They were very attractive and blended with all the other flowers and color schemes. I would definitely recommend Black Creek for your flower needs. Susan is very talented. She listens well and works passionately to make your ideas come to life. Her husband Tom is a wonderful helper and behind the scenes guy. You will find both Susan and Tom to be very professional, friendly and customer service oriented!

My family and I came to the Fort Wayne Civic Theatre about a month ago. It was my mothers birthday…read moreand I got tickets for all of us as a birthday gift for her. We drove to Fort Wayne hoping to watch good theatre. The Civic Theatre is part of a larger complex called Arts United center which has a philharmonic, art exhibits and other cultural venues. The staff is friendly and helpful. The lines in will call are practically non-existent. The lines in the ticket booth are not much larger. There are certainly some negatives 1) No valet parking. Parking is also a rather long walk from theatre. I am used to theaters with either valet parking or at worst a nearby parking lot. May not be a problem for me, but my mother is older and she does have problems walking long distances. Several other patrons were also in the same situation. The nearest parking garage is several blocks away. 2) the seats are narrow and a bit uncomfortable. The narrowness didn't bother me, but my brother is larger and it was a tight fit for him. Not a lot of cushion on the seat though 3) The decor is a bit spartan compared to other theaters I have been to. 4) No alcohol sold either before the play or during intermission. They do sell sodas/pop and small snacks. I still believe though that even with these negatives, it is worth coming. The play was entertaining and well acted. My mother loved her birthday gift. Whats better than that?

I live in Chicago, however I refuse to have any framing done in Chicago. I hold out for Charley at…read moreNorthside. Charley is a *cool* guy, very patient, easy to work with and he does amazing work. Before making suggestions for framing, he will ask questions to help understand your style and personality. Charley will offer ideas for your framing that are unique and atypical - he has come up with things I would have never thought of! I took photos/artwork purchased on Etsy.com and/or art fairs to Charley that are worth no more than $10-25. After Charley's touch, the artwork looks *expensive.* I've even got him framing a few greeting cards that I've had laying around for years and years - these cards hold special meaning to me. If you need framing, do not go to Michaels or JoAnn Fabrics or any corporate retail outlet for that matter, VISIT Charley. I can't imagine what my pieces would look like if framed by some over-aged woman working part-time at Michael's in her retired life.....

But regardless, 10/10 will be back to get everything framed.

The potatoes were good about a ice cream scoops worth. The chocolate pudding was cafeteria quality at best. We enjoyed the play but there was a cast of three. The worst thing is when you pick your seats on the website they're not going to be the ones you picked. It's first come pick your seat at each table. Had I known that I would not have bought tickets.

Had a lunch meeting with a client of mine today at the County Club. The hostess was gracious and…read morehonored my reservation and sat us immediately. Once seated the server came and gave us the specials of the day and disappeared. We didn't see her for at least another 20 minutes, and that is no Exaggeration. Once she reappeared, she took our order and the food came pretty quickly. My client ordered the superfood salad which she said was amazing and it was of size that she couldn't eat it all. I chose the less healthy option, Cajun Chicken sandwich which was very good. Seasoned well and hand cut fries which were cooked to perfection. I give the rating of 3 mainly because of the wait. It was lunch hour and most people don't have hours to spend. Sure, some people may have been stopping in after being on the golf course for a bite, but clearly we were on a business lunch considering we were dressed up with papers and such. I would go back just not when I'm taking a client for lunch.
