New Members of the Downtown Business Association

KUKA's
Take time to visit with Ruth and
Julius Darrington owners of Kuka’s
at their new location 1609 19th
across from the Spotlight Theatre.
Kuka’s operated for over three
years at a location north of 178 and
recently moved to the heart of our
city in June to their new location
on 19th Street. Albert Herrera has
been the feature artist and has sold
many paintings at this new location.
“It has been a perfect partnership”
says Mrs. Darrington who had sold
another painting of Mr. Herrera that
morning. This has been the best
move and good choice” exclaims
Ruth “we are so exciting to be a
part of the Historic Arts District
Downtown. We are open late on
First Friday’s Downtown and looking
forward to the Up on the Roof
Party. ■

CHELSEA PLACE
Thank you to Joyce and Dan
Ree, owners of Chelsea Place for
coordinating the First Friday Night
drawings. The drawings have
turned into fundraisers for nonprofits.
The last drawing benefited the
Ronald McDonald House. Joyce
and Dan outreached to businesses
other than just their neighbors on
19th Street. This was a lot of work
and they are asking for help. If you
would like to coordinate a drawing
on First Friday for your neighbors
call Joyce or Dan at 323-3854 they
will be happy to work with you. ■
