Did you see in the Star Tribune last Friday? Rick Nelson wrote about the brownies at the Wilde Roast Cafe in his HOT SPOT for SWEETS. Thanks Rick!
Owners Tom DeGree and Dean Schlaak should consider changing the name of their cozy cafe/coffeehouse to Brownie Central, because the kitchen’s moist, plus-size squares of chocolately goodness are probably the most decadent goodie in the Twin Cities to come out of a 9- by 13-inch pan, and certainly a fine way for any sugar hound to drop $2.95.

Our dining room wall will display the art of Andre Salvadore during the months of July and August.
I cannot remember a time in my life that I was not drawing or painting. As a child in Italy my parents were encouraged to foster my love and ability in art by most of my teachers, when we came to America My Mother paid from the meager earnings she made, for me to be tutored privately from various artists, I met the Artist John Grengs as a young teen who became both teacher and mentor for many years to come, he was an expressionist painter who painted people in scenes in a modern context. he was a big influence in my brush work .I studied with a number of local and national artist in the following years, in the 1980s I started painting colorful almost abstract figures and I had my first one man show in 1984 at Gallery M on Grand Ave. in St. Paul when Marta Bittner the owner, who wanted to show emerging artist in the Twin Cities.
In the 1990s my work was becoming more representational. I began to draw on my love of early 20th Century poster and carnival art from Italy and France, and in the last 2 years I began to draw on the style form Mid. Century American cinema because it was through these movies that I tried to understand this country, also I realized that so few artist in that time were painting the people of there time because Abstract expressionism was king, so the Idea of seeing this stylish age on canvas rather than film and photography was both intriguing and limitless in scope.
I have been an active participant in the last 10 years in the St. Paul Art Crawl, the Arts in the Midway Shows, and the last 3 years as a member of the Northrup King Artists Collaborative, and have been showing with this group during Art A Whirl and Art Attack, and have done count less installations of my work in both Public and private spaces, you can go to www.salvadoreart.com and view my archive and some new work. Please Join us at the Opening of my installation at the Wilde Roast Café. Sunday July 13th 6-8 pm
Alex will be displaying his photography in the hallway during July and August. His opening will be July 3rd from 6 to 8pm.
What Can I say, along with my beautiful wife and son, photography is my life, and my drive. There is nothing like creating art with the simple click of a button. But there is more to it than just pushing the button, the intricate process involved in composition, colors, lighting, what type of lens, what angle… High or low, all in the matter of a few seconds is what makes it more challenging than just pushing a button. That is why I am in school to continue my knowledge and continue to fine-tune my craft. Knowledge is power, so the more I know the better off I am, which will set me further apart from the competition and give me that edge to succeed. As my gallery continues to grow, you will see the continuing growth of me as a person as well as my style, which it is my hope to have it ever changing so that it always stays fresh, and true to who I am. Thanks again for taking the time to view my galleries, and I hope you all continue to check back as much as possible.

This past weekend my oldest niece Dani got married at the Mill City Museum. Mike owns Evolution Hair in the Lyn-Lake area. I might be biased, but my niece could easily be a model for wedding dresses…and look at that hair!
