Big City

Posted on June 25, 2009 by Staff

Hive buzzing

The Beehive held its grand re-opening coinciding with 2ndFriday Artwalk. The hair salon has added space, chairs, sinks and product displays. They’ve also added art, and plenty of it.

In celebration of the re-opening, this month’s art was lovingly made by those employed at the salon. The walls are lined with odd snapshots, paintings, photos, jewelry and masking tape sculptures — not a bad way to learn a little bit more about your local stylists.

Also, please note: The ’hive is still taking submissions for its annual Art Challenge. Last year, the subject was the beehive do itself.
This year, the theme is “Mohawks and Mullets.”

The rules are thus: “Any medium, any style, any size (well, it has to fit inside the Beehive Salon). All ages are encouraged to participate. The top seven winners will have their art work displayed inside the Beehive Salon for the month of August and be part of the 2ndFriday Artwalk on August 14th.”

Top prize is a $100 gift certificate.

The deadline is Saturday, July 25th. (thebeehive-salon.com)

Deck rock

Maybe the James C. Wallace parking deck isn’t such the dead zone described in a recent Big City column. Good turnouts reported on the deck for Boomtown Live’s party and the Downtown Partnership’s first Locally Grown concert of the season.

The partnership’s next concert in the monthly series is Thursday, July 23 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The show is being presented by Music Makers Relief Foundation and features Big Ron Hunter with Boo Hanks. The August concert — presented by Local 506 — promises to be fairly big, with The Love Language (who are, as they say, blowin’ up) and Lost in the Trees. That show’s on Aug. 20. Word is that there will be a beer garden at both the July and August shows. The town council approved the idea at last Monday’s meeting.

Big target date

Something called The Chocolate Door is coming to the spot next to the gravel lot on the corner of Graham and Franklin that used to be Lee’s Chinese Take-Out. No specific date, just a sign that says “Opening Summer 2009.” ‘Bout 11 weeks left to hit that mark.
