Project61 Update:   "Feast for the Forgotten" This Saturday, November 20 at 2:00pm under the 12th Street Bridge. Saturday is the annual "Feast for the Forgotten" Thanksgiving meal and gathering for those who meet up once a month under the 12th Street bridge. This monthly event is called Project61 and was started by local rapper and motivational speaker Minister RMB in the fall of 2004 with some friends.  RMB says, "Everybody wants to know they are valued and loved...regardless of their current situation or background.  People desperately need love.  Love with no agenda.  We have all experienced times of brokenness, failure, loneliness, betrayal, abandonment....and it was during those ti

Have you ever discovered a place that made you say "everybody should see this place"? I did on a recent drive down J Street. What caught my eye was the shop owner putting some of her items outside for passerbys to get a visual and a taste of what could be in the store. I quickly found myself parking right in front so that I could get a better view of what I was hoping I was seeing. What the shop owner was putting out were items of furniture that I hadn't seen in a long time, ever since I was a kid. After perusing all the fun things outside, I couldn't wait to go inside.

Once a month, every month like clockwork since 2005, hundreds of people get together under the 12th street bridge for a love-in. Yes you heard right, and this is probably the first time you have ever heard of it. In fact it happens this Saturday, October 30th at 2:00pm.  People come from all over the area dressed in tie-dye and many other forms of clothing, depending on the weather, to create an atmosphere where "Love Wins". This monthly event is called Project61 and was started by local rapper and motivational speaker Minister RMB in the fall of 2004 with some friends.  RMB says, "Everybody wants to know they are valued and loved...regardless of their current situation or background.  Pe

If Elvis Presley is the King of rock, and Michael Jackson the King of pop, then Andreas Nottebohm would have to be "hands down" the King of metal art. There are many artists using metal today, but Andreas' art has more than set the standard. He has raised the bar to the point that very few, if any who come after him, will ever achieve his success. In the category of art known as "cutting edge," Nottebohm's creations are not only cutting edge, but also over the top and out if this world so much, that NASA has commissioned him to do various projects. Knowing that all that glitters is not gold, Andreas can put a Midas touch on aluminum that can be compared to precious metals, and quite o
