An unusual and fascinating art exhibition slated for Dreamland Ballroom.
It’s a slow process, but we’re making real progress on my new cocktail and coffee bar, Kerry Lou’s LLC, soon to be doing business as The Dreamland Lounge. Yes, after filing the original paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office, I decided to simplify the name of the restaurant/bar from Kerry Lou’s to Dreamland Lounge.

Can you believe this marks my 21st year of blogging? Some of my readers aren’t even that old!
Lacking formal college training in business, I attended numerous AIDC seminars and SBA workshops to learn and grow. At one such seminar, the speaker made a statement that has stuck with me ever since: “If your business isn’t changing every 10 years, expect to be out of business in another 10.”
Have you heard the term Harlem Renaissance when describing the prosperous lives of negros between the Civil War and Desegregation? No, me neither, until son Matthew uncovered the term. Recently, I was reeducated and reminded of this era while watching Matt’s latest video.
“Thank you for letting us, all of us, share in your dream tonight.” That is what Dancing into Dreamland judge and actress Joey Lauren Adams said to the man who, at the end of a duo-dance routine, got down on one knee, pulled a ring out of his pocket, and proposed to his partner.
