It’s not easy being green…
We applaud Scott Roewer…
…for all his work in support of Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County. You may remember, we served as a denim drop-off location a few months ago to help Scott with his goal of collecting 500 pairs of jeans to be turned into eco-friendly insulation for homes built by the Habitat for Humanity organization. The reason for the number 500 – that’s the number of pairs of jeans needed to make insulation for one entire home. Well, Scott did better that 500 pairs, he was able to collect 657 pairs! 9 News Now featured Scott and his mountain of denim on Wednesday evening. Congratulations on exceeding your goal Scott. All your efforts have made a difference!

“The living room in my new house has a huge green marble fireplace which I think is very dated. How could I decorate around it so that I do not have to spend money to redo the fireplace? Thanks a lot for your help.”

The “Take You Home” art exhibit is a must see
The “Take You Home” exhibit currently showing at Gallery Plan B is a must see. Works by both featured artists, Mike Weber and Jason Wright, are breathtaking. Wright uses a modern take on knife painted landscapes to create beautiful, clean-lined pieces. Weber works are the marriage of antique photography and technology, and the results are amazing.
