I spent a little time at Heritage Square Museum yesterday.

The docent brought up an interesting point. The Perry Mansion, (the white home on the left) built in 1876, cost considerably more to build than the Hale House, (on the right) built in 1887.

And contributing factors to that change in cost, were that in the intervening span of 11 years, huge progress was made in the ability to transport raw materials from one point to another cross country; and equally huge progress was made in the ability to mass-produce materials.

We often talk about the enormous, mind boggling changes in technology and business that have occured in the last ten years. I'm thinking the people living in the 1876 to 1887 period might have felt the same way.

Cantinflas Altar by Ofelia Esparza

Avenue 50 Studio is proud to present a fun and satirical exhibition for this year's Dia de Los Muertos. Once a year during harvest time, we pay homage to Death. At harvest, while crops die, they give back life. This is the spirit of Dia de Los Muertos ~ through death there is life.

Dia de Los Muertos is a pagan celebration to the Dead. We offer up candies and flowers and images to keep the Dead happy. This Dia de Los Muertos we've asked our artists to feed Death's belly with laughter. Through laughter, he will pardon and overlook our trespasses, and open a window to the underworld where we can communicate with our loved ones. Let us feed the demon Death with sweet life. And through those spoonfuls, keep the living alive. Let us laugh and celebrate life. This Dia de Los Muertos, we hope to keep you entertained in honor and celebration of the duality of life.

Please feel free to dress in your favorite DOD attire

Dine with Your Dead!
