It’s great to introduce the concept of cage-free grooming and doggie day care to South Florida. We cater to a level of professionalism and hospitality that our furry four-legged friends deserve,” said Josh Meneses, who owns the business with partner Alan Aghazadian.
With both of their experience, talents and love for animals, Meneses and Aghazadian are bringing a fresh approach to animal care. Safety and cleanliness are their primary focus at the 3000 square foot indoor dog park they have created.

Congratulations to Burger Battle Winner The Alibi
Wilton Manors Main Street heartily offers its congratulations to the Alibi for its second year running win of the Riverwalk Trust Burger Battle 2011.
Wilton Manors own Alibi won the contest last year with their amazing Black Angus Burgers and had a repeat this year as the Judges' Favorite. This is no small feat since the competition were once again some of the most notable restaurants in the Fort Lauderdale area including some famous names on trendy Las Olas Boulevard and on the 17th Street Causeway.
The Alibi has long been a center for exciting entertainment drawing people from all over the world, and we locals have known that it is an excellent choice for a meal. Now, the rest of the region is paying attention to the high quality of service, food and fun that Jackson Padgett and Mark Negrete have built here at the entertainment hub of Wilton Manors.
It goes to show that Wilton Manors and the Wilton Drive is a destination unlike any other and we're all fortunate to be able to call it home and cherish it as do the visitors.
You can see the official online slideshow at the South Florida Food and Wine blog at this link.
Our heartfelt congratulations, once again, go to The Alibi Staff and Jackson Padgett and Mark Negrete.

Wilton Manors Main Street Hosts Thom Cassotta At the next Island City Art Walk
This Friday, April 15th (have you got your taxes done?), Wilton Manors Main Street will be hosting a third artist.
Thom Cassotta will join us from 7pm until 10pm at our office with his characteristic works of texture. These works are in mixed media and can be creations of art of whatever catches his eye.
In the artist's own words:
Texture Works
These original works began with a combination of acrylic paint and textured papers, most of which I have made myself. Using stipple brush, sponge, tissue paper, rages, crackle paint, burlap, metallic paint, rice paper and miscellaneous findings, I cut and arrange the papers before applying an acrylic gel.
Some work is totally original from start to finish.
Some work has a photographic base with additional paper cuttings applied over it. Because this 2nd step is always different, no two pieces are exactly the same.
Some work has been reproduced into Art Prints.
My inspiration harks back to the 2nd grade of school, where the teacher encouraged me to just have fun with crayons. Next she passed out watercolors and instructed me to apply them over the crayon sketch. The wax-crayons resisted the watercolors and produced vibrant textural results which were amazing. This visual stimulation never left….and put me ion a lifelong search for new color and texture combinations.
A few decades later….
I graduated from Paier College of Art, did a summer semester at the Palazzo Gallenga, Perugia, Italy and did a “Sketching Tour” of Brazil through Pratt Institute.
Now in my late 50’s, I’ve lived my entire adult life supported by the sales of my artwork. And with this newer textural work, it feels like I’ve made some departure back to the 2nd grade…..and loving it.

Wilton Manors Main Street hosts Lynn Dolan at the next Island City Art Walk
Lynn is also a supporter of Wilton Manors Main Street which is a plus for us. In Lynn's words, "I fully support the Wilton Manor Main Street Program...think it's wonderful and I hope it comes to fruition under your watchful eye. I'm very excited to be able to exhibit my work at your office on April 15th and I've been busy creating large pieces to fill up some of the great wall spaces you have."
Lynn says, describing her art: "I've had many opportunities through the years to exhibit my art. Started my obsession with creating in high school and more often than not you could find me in the Art Room covered in clay or paint. College lead me through the fundamentals of Art History and I've never stopped. During my career I've had the experience of being in juried Art Shows and have won awards for Most Original and Most Creative in the Mixed Media field. Having moved down to Florida last year has motivated me to seek out oppotunities and locations to display my Art. I came upon the Island City Art Walk through Mary Ellen from the Ellen Charapko Gallery and here I am ready and able to creat unique and original pieces."
We at Wilton Manors Main Street are looking forward to seeing Lynn's Art. You can see it too at our offices on April 15th, 2011 from 7PM through 10PM at 2164 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors, FL, 33305.

Market Bazaar at the Shoppes of Wilton Manors Today
If you are looking for something interesting to do today, one suggestion is to head over to the Drive. There's always something going on there, but today you can rub shoulders with your neighbors while looking for treasures and knick knacks. Usually there are some food vendors and you can get some fresh produce - their bell peppers are usually amazing. Every month it seems to grow a little larger and since the weather is cool and is pleasant today, the crowd will be bigger still.
Today from 9am until 2pm at the Shoppes of Wilton Manors, there will be the monthly Market Bazaar flea market. This is headed by Wilton Manors Main Street business of the quarter recipient Nikki and Steve Rose from their iconic coffee shop Java Boys. If you make it there, stop in and say hi to Nikki and Steve, they'll treat you like family and let them know we sent you. Their Facebook page has some pictures from the shop, so if you can't manage to get in for some Joe and a bit of a snack, you can see the place here.
This is a monthly scheduled event that has all sorts of new and used items, and has rapidly become one of the things that locals look forward to. It is a great way to meet your neighbors, get some coffee or visit some of the other shops at the center, and be a part of your community.
The address is 2030 Wilton Drive, Wilton Manors, FL, 33305

Joaquín González, Recent Works in Ink
Wilton Manors (Ft. Lauderdale), FL, January 10, 2011_____________ Ellen Charapko Gallery will present a solo exhibition: Joaquín González, Recent Works in Ink. The gallery will host an opening reception on Friday, January 21, 2011, 7 – 10 pm. The artist will be present. The exhibition will run through February 12, 2011.
The latest works of Joaquín González have been inspired by a little known South American Indian tribe, who live in one of the most primitive locations on the planet, the Amazon. Gonzalez introduces the Shipibo-Conibo Indians to the rest of the world through his art. This latest series by González is a peek into the lives of the native, Amazonic Indians of Perú, who speak in the Ashaninka language. Their realm of existence is dramatically unlike our fast-paced modern society. Gonzalez, through this new series of work, casts light onto their everyday routines, ancestral rituals and ceremonies. He uses a multitude of iconic images, almost a “story-board,” visual documentary of “a day in the life.”
Gonzalez states that his experience in the Amazon, not only with the people but the river and jungle, “has been both beautiful and fearful, but, mostly a freeing experience in relationship to my artistic expression.” Through his interaction with the Shipibo-Conibo, González developed a close friendship and mutual trust with them. All of this led him to a better understanding of man and his roots, which he has incorporated into his latest body of work.
Joaquín González was born in 1957, in Cuba. In 1982 he moved to Spain and eventually relocated to the USA in 1999. He lives and works in Miami, Florida. Besides painting, González is also a master printer. His work has been featured in various prestigious exhibitions around the world, including Cuba, Spain, Latin America, and the United States.
Evening hours are Wednesday through Saturday and by appointment. The gallery is located at 2374 Wilton Drive, in Wilton Manors Art & Entertainment District. Ellen Charapko Gallery was founded in 2006. For more information contact, Mary Ellen Charapko, 954.5479014, or email: info@ellencharapkogallery.com Website: www.EllenCharapkoGallery.com
