Do you have a friend/family member suffering from a strange addiction? It's hard to watch someone you love struggle with an addiction, especially when that addiction seems strange, unusual and completely unstoppable. A major documentary series would like to offer professional assistance to anyone struggling with uncommon and uncontrollable compulsions and addictions. Our series profiles those suffering with addictions that may seem unusual, but nonetheless, very harmful and challenging. We allow friends and family members to discuss the addiction in a safe and controlled environment and then we allow those suffering with their addictions to receive help. If you have someone in your life that is ingesting or smelling something dangerous or engaging in odd behavior that is damaging their quality of life, please contact us so we can help. For consideration, please reply to this e-mail with your name, age, contact information, recent photo and brief summary about the person in your life who you feel needs help or contact us directly at 312.467.8679/casting@20west.tv. Thank you for wanting to share your story. We are here to listen.

Louisville Entrepreneur Profiles - P Is For Possible & Kluster Happy Jewelry [Business]

Louisville Entrepreneur Profiles - P Is For Possible & Kluster Happy Jewelry
Today we profile Laura Holmes and how her businesses, P Is For Possible & Kluster Happy Jewelery, keep her busy...and happy.

A debut of drawings [Visual Art]

Ming Ying Hong exhibit in Louisville
Two debuts in one. Emerging artist Ming Ying Hong's drawings and the new Director of the Green Building Gallery Daniel Pfalzgraf.

 

The Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, “Youth is wasted on the young” and as another television season of Jersey Shore begins, I’m beginning to agree with this statement. However, artist Ming Ying Hong is putting her youth to good work in her first solo exhibition at the Green Building Gallery in Louisville.
