KINGSVILLE – Currently on display in the Ben Bailey Art Gallery at Texas A&M University-Kingsville are a number of prints made in an unusual way. No normal press was used to make these prints although they were pressed, literally. During the recent Artwalk in downtown Kingsville, prints made on large wooden blocks were pressed on paper using a steam roller normally reserved for construction or road work.

- VANCOUVER: The city with everything

Traveling to Vancouver, British Columbia, we decided to make it a little more fun by flying into Seattle, taking a bus up to Vancouver and train back down at the end. Being a train afficionado this proved a wise decision. Not only did it save us over $300 and a lot of time, it gave us a relaxing way to start and finish a vacation. But on to the adventure! Arriving in Vancouver, we took a taxi to the Granville House B&B, a half block from a local bus stop, very convenient as we took local transportation everywhere, bypassing a rent-a-car.

It stands empty now. Dust balls float lazily across the floor. Shimmers of light sneak through the windows. Spiders scamper across the bare concrete floors. 609 W. Bus. 83 — originally known as 609 Highway West — waits hopefully for its next tenant.
