July 10, 2014 | Volume 2 Issue 14 Heliopolis #heliopolissbc | Heliopolis.LA

In recent years, downtown has had its share of successes and failures in restaurant start-ups. Many factors are at play from accessibility of the menu to proximity, parking, atmosphere, and consistency. In a market like our city center, nothing matters more than having great food - because as much as people claim food options in downtown are limited, there are over a dozen food establishments - even if you don’t count the casinos or Sub-way - competing for your taste buds, and there’s always room for more.

With the recent move of Sevendipity Cafe from 420 Marshall to their new location in Highland at the corner of Creswell and Kings, a ready-made food space was available downtown. Catherine’s Eatery’s owners, 20+ year vets in the local business, saw the opportunity to come out of retire-ment and re-join the fray in the fertile soil to provide another breakfast and lunch option at a familiar location and a hungry lunch crowd. Unfortunately for said lunch crowd, this new option isn’t that great.

When I walked in with my friends, the place had a sterile and cold atmos-phere, much like a cafeteria. Even though Sevendipity’s use of the space could have been better, the sunny disposition and the clientele always offset any feelings of what could have been improved - but this feels like a step backwards. That’s just a small red flag though, nothing major. The familiar bar has been turned into a buffet of sorts where the special of the day is taken from a tray and plated in front of you. Cool idea, but there was no sneeze guard, which made me nervous, and the staff weren’t us-ing gloves. The small, flashing lights in my head began to glow. Something wasn’t right. And as I stood there in line, the gentleman serving my fried chicken plate was trying to explain to me a very complicated pricing sys-tem which we eventually figured out to mean rice with the dish was a lower price and it was two dollars more for mashed potatoes. I love taters, so I got that high-roller upgrade and rounded out my plate with carrots and cornbread.

We sat down, my refreshing bottled root beer in hand, and I couldn’t have been more excited. There are a plethora of drink options including bot-tled and fountain drinks which is a total plus in my book. I wish more places downtown had such options. After discussing on the experience so far with my friends, I dug into my fried chicken and... it wasn’t bad. No spices, little flavor but I thought, perhaps, I needed to smother it in pota-toes or something - maybe a little pepper. After all, some dishes are best eaten with the other flavors in the dish. Nope. The potatoes, while fluffy-looking, tasted boxed. The carrots tasted like they came straight from a can and my co-mealers agreed on both accounts. What’s going on here? The cornbread was fairly dry, slightly burned, and also bland. None of this

could have been farm-fresh, none of it could have been made with any kind of love - because you can feel the difference.

It just didn’t make sense. Why was it so mediocre? These folks have res-taurant experience, Sevendipity didn’t, and yet they blew the doors off. Mediocre simply isn’t acceptable ‘round these parts unless you are a staunch fan of Nicky’s Mexican. Shreveport is now totally aware of what fresh, lovingly cooked-to-order food looks, smells, and tastes like as evi-denced by the popularity of the Shreveport Farmers’ Market and other similar venues. There’s still plenty of wiggle room, as many downtown establishments are lacking in one area or another - be it ticket times or service - but the food is always the top priority. The bar isn’t set incredibly high, but it’s high enough to matter, and I think Catherine’s has underes-timated the palate of downtown Shreveport. So I just have to ask “Who is Catherine’s Eatery targeting?” It’s not the crowd that once crossed the threshold into Sevendipity. It’s not the bar crowd because they close by the early afternoon. Unfortunately, I foresee a restaurant that won’t be in business for very long - or at least won’t be frequented by me. I’m willing to give it another go in a couple of weeks once they get settled in, but if I taste the flake-like texture in my potatoes again or the aluminum on the carrots, I’m out. Maybe it will find a niche but, for this foodie, it’s not worth the $10 a plate to get pre-packaged, uninspired, and lukewarm food.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You’re walking on eggshells. Everything you do could potentially set off a chain of events which your world might never recover from.

1. Where are you from?Shreveport born and raised. This city is all I know!

2. What’s your favorite place/thing to do in SBC?Living in the same place all my life, I tend to make my own fun with friends and family. I try to always be doing something. 3. What’s your favorite color?Gray is my favorite color; almost every t-shirt I own is gray. 4. What are your favorite colors to use in your art? Why?I used to go crazy and use every color I could find, but it’s way cheaper to just use five colors: grays, blues, black, and white; sometimes reds. 5. What was the first piece of art you ever completed?It was years ago, maybe 6th grade, I painted a landscape; I was pretty proud of it. 6. If you had unlimited funds, what would you do?If that were the case I wouldn’t be here. But before doing anything

for myself I’d first take care of everyone that has taken care of/helped out and has been so good to me. 7. If you could be any animal what would you be?A DOG!!! Dogs have it made! Unless your owner sucks!!! 8. What does being an artist mean to you? “Artist” to me is a Big word, because there is art in almost every-thing. It’s so easy to call yourself an artist these days. Anyone can throw some color on some cardboard and call themselves artist. It’s simply that easy. 9. How, if at all, has the Shreveport-Bossier artistic scene changed while you’ve been working within it?This city still has a lot of growing up left to do; it’s hard when the funding for arts is cut! 10. Did you have any idols/role models that helped facilitate this dream?I look up to any artist who paints what they want without worry of how others will take it. And that also goes with music and movies

11. What words of advice would you give to young - or old - people pursuing an artistic life..?Never stop!!!! It’s not like riding a bike!!!! 12. What do you hope people feel from looking at your work? Gain? Experience?My painting has changed a lot. I used to do a lot of landscapes and abstract paintings. I never cared much for meaning in my work; it has meaning I guess to me, but to anyone else, I guess find your own?? Now i just paint old TV stars I grew up watching; I just hope when they look at my paintings that they see it was done well and inspire them to do better! 13. What do you like on your hamburger? Or are you vegan?I’m very weird, and this is kind of embarrassing. I had a bad expe-rience with ketchup and mustard when I was young, so I eat my burgers with MEAT and CHEESE ONLY!!!!!!

Check out his show@ Noble Savage Tavern, opening 7/11 with music from The Red River Light Variety. Art will be up through August 11.

Girls With Glasses: Francophiles Anonymous...Next Meeting Scheduled for July 14Jessica Coburn & Candace D. Gahan

YOUR LIFE COACH: YOU ARE YOUR PURPOSEJasmine Green jasminepaige.jg@gmail.com

Puydeval Red Blend, Languedoc, FR, 2011We’re starting to gear up for another grand tasting at the bistro which means new wines to sample! Bastille Day (July 14) is just as good a day as any if not the best day to celebrate and drink great French wine. My favorite of the ones we’ve tried so far is called Puydeval, a red blend of Cab Franc, Syrah, and Merlot from Languedoc that drinks like a Bordeaux. The spicy aromas invite you to indulge in the smooth tannins and blackberry fl avors that envelope you like a hug from a long lost friend. This wine is serious business. It’s simple yet jam packed with deliciously earthy fl avors. The winemaker, Jeff Carrel suggests pairing this wine with pizza or burgers which I wholeheartedly agree with (anyone who knows me knows I love pizza), but I also think a chevre or another creamy goat cheese would complement the Puydeval nicely. -Jessica Coburn Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve Champagne, Champagne, FR, NV (Non-vintage)Winston Churchill’s wisest words may have been those spoken in WWI, when he said, “Remember gentlemen, it’s not just France we are fi ghting for, it’s Champagne!” And today we thank those brave men for preserving and defending the best thing to come out of France since sliced baguette. Champagne has one of the richest histories in the wine world. I could go on and on about the late 19th-century party girl Madam Cliquot Ponsardin who made Veuve Cliquot what it is today, or how Champenois during WWI hid or intentionally mislabeled their bottles to keep the invading Nazis from drinking the good stuff . But I’m not going to do that, so you’re welcome. I am going to recommend you try the Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve, which has a great price on it considering it was voted Champagne of the Millennium in 1999. It’s light and crisp, with fi ne yet thick and defi ned bubbles. It’s Brut, so there’s no sweetness to this one, but it has a delicate pear fl avor behind the bubbles. Don’t wait until New Year’s to drink Champagne. There’s always some reason to celebrate with it, and if not just remember, sometimes the best reason to celebrate is because you have a bottle of Champagne. - Candace D. Gahan

According to Google, the defi nition of purpose is: “The reason for which something is done or created, or for which something exists.”

I couldn’t agree more.

Life gets so busy at times we often don’t know, as my favorite uncle puts it, whether we are coming or going. In other words, we don’t know what’s going on. At all. We tend to get caught up in routines, and we do things just because we either heard it was the correct way or because it just looks good. Many people fi nd themselves living a conditioned life, not really fulfi lling their dreams or living a purposeful life. Many people fall into a deep depression and/or develop a pessimistic outlook on life when they feel as if they don’t know what they were put on this earth to do. They often question the meaning of their lives. I used to feel clueless as to what meaning my existence had until one day, I stumbled across the practice of living a purposeful life.

The great thing about purpose, in my opinion, is that it never escapes you. It exists in every single moment of your life, making you thrive. The main thing that people ask me is “How do I know what my purpose is?” or “How can I live more purposefully?” My answer to them is simple, you are purpose. Your being here is signifi cant to other people. Your life is never really just about you. Everything you do has a cause, a very special one that contributes to mankind. Your purpose at a specifi c time could be something as small as being there for someone who is new to the city and not sure how to get around, or as big as saying something encouraging to someone in need. You’re never tied to one purpose. That’s the beauty of living a purposeful life. Upon accepting purpose into your life, it will never be the same; at that moment you will truly begin to live. You will know with confi dence, that while on Earth, your life has infi nite meaning.

New downtown gallery to offer services for artists, public Regan Horn reganatorrrr@gmail.comOn July 17, the Agora Borealis opens its distressed-chic doors to the public at 421 Lake Street for Cirque du Lake. The block will close to traffic from 4 to 8 p.m., hosting food trucks, live music, and street entertainers for the family. Tricia Stewart of Dallas will be selling organic cotton candy in flavors such as Marshmallow Rose; made from crystallized fruit and delicious ingredients like rose water.

With the main focus being hand-picked, locally crafted art and goods, the Agora Borealis will serve as a place to educate the public about local artists and reducing waste by recycling. Skylights provide natural light to reduce energy costs and nearly everything for sale has been thrifted, picked, donated, and upcycled. Dilapidated doors are converted to room dividers and given a fresh, distressed look by Brandon Goodgion while Brandi Cade does taxidermy makeovers. There is opportunity to purchase furniture, art, jewelry, and someday even food.

Owner Katy Larsen dreamt of having an art commune in the country, but the realization of this dream takes place in the heart of Shreveport to be more accessible to the community. Cultural resources being one of her three minors from LA Tech, Larsen wants to preserve and restore the former Lake Street Dance Hall, giving it an exciting sense of community purpose.

Behind the building, there is plenty of parking and room to stand

and admire the murals painted by Danielle Miller. Inside, bricks are exposed on parts of the wall, with visible horsehair used in the mortar being “locked in time,” as Larsen says. The blue green swirls on the floor are reminiscent of the colors of the aurora borealis, the inspiration behind the 3,000 square foot space. Larsen’s father

told her that “agora” is Greek for marketplace, and borealis means northern, so she says the name came naturally.

the Agora Borealis will provide a one-of-a-kind place to demonstrate how local art will look in your home with furniture and art staged in mock rooms. Larsen prefers a Bohemian style, but she wants people to try new and unusual pieces in their homes.

Instead of stocking shelves with imports, Larsen is taking an active role as the owner and handpicking the pieces that will be displayed for sale, there is no “booth rental” here. No need to wait for the next festival to buy local art and goods, as the Agora Borealis will be open year-round, with features such as an Artist of the Month, classes, and seminars hosted by local and visiting artists. Eventually, there will be a space for visiting artists to stay for free and set up shop.

Anyone who wants to share their work, knowledge, or volunteer their time is welcome to contact Larsen at theAgoraBorealis@gmail.com. Keep up with the Agora Borealis’ developments on their Facebook page, and look out for their 1967 VW Microbus with the logo!

Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi (September 30, 1207 –December 17, 1273) was a Persian philosopher, theologian, poet, teacher, and founder of the Mawlawi order of Sufism. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world’s languages and he has been described as the “most popular poet in America” and the “best selling poet in the US” according to BBC.

The general theme of Rumi’s thought is on the concept of tawhid — union with his beloved (the primal root) from whom he has been cut off and become aloof — and his desire to restore that union. Rumi passionately believed in the use of music, poetry and dance as a means for reaching God. For Rumi, music helped devotees focus their whole being on the Divine until the soul was both destroyed and resurrected.

Rumi encouraged Sama – listening to music and turning or doing the Sacred Dance, representing a mystical journey of spiritual ascent through mind and love to the Perfect One. In this journey, the seeker turns towards the truth, grows through love, abandons the ego, finds the truth and arrives at the Perfect. The seeker then returns from this spiritual journey, with greater maturity, to love and to be of service without discrimination with regard to beliefs, races, classes, and nations.

Rumi was an e v o l u t i o n a r y thinker in the sense that after devolution from the divine Ego, the spirit undergoes an evolutionary process by which it comes nearer to the same divine Ego. All matter in the universe obeys this fundamental law and this movement is an urge (which Rumi calls “love”) to evolve and seek unity with the divinity from which it has emerged. The evolution into a human being from the animal state is only one stage in this complex process. The French philosopher Henri Bergson’s idea that life is inherently creative and evolutionary is similar; though unlike Bergson, Rumi believes that there is a specific goal to the process: the attainment of God. For Rumi, God is the ground as well as the goal of all existence.

SBC proudly welcomed comedian Doug Stanhope to, of all places, the Phoenix Underground in April. The show, a last minute addition to Stanhope’s Last Gasp tour, drew in a crowd of nearly one hundred people, some having traveled all the way from Austin, Texas. A monumental moment for some, it was especially exciting for local comedian Glenn Stuart, who was given the opportunity

to open and close the show.

Stuart has been making waves in the comedy circuit for almost two years now, in that short time performing all over Northwest Louisiana and Los Angeles, and in 2013 he took home the title of “Funniest Comic in Shreveport” in a competition held by Voodoo Café: an art bar.

At 6′ 3,” Stuart has a commanding presence, and if that weren’t enough, he’s got a personality that could fill the Superdome. He’s a great comedian and an all-around good guy, so I wanted to ask to him what it’s like to be a comic in SBC.

CG: Who influences you the most?GS: Probably my family. I come from really, really, really funny people. I mean, in comedians, I have such an eclectic taste in comedy. A lot of my humor comes from my mom and dad. We were very poor people, and the great thing is that you get really great humor out of it. I am the product of a truck driver and a lovely alcoholic. Functioning. Mom was good. Birthdays were always magical. Still to this day, and I’m twenty-eight, she’ll call you at 6:30 in the morning to sing you Happy Birthday. I’ll tell you right now, she’s my biggest supporter.

CG: Where do you get your material? Do you have a routine?GS: Real life, unfortunately. I refuse to tell the same joke to an audience twice. I am a writing machine. At least that way, the audience will say, Glenn always has new material, let’s go see whether he […] up or not. I’d rather you see me bomb in a blaze of glory.

CG: Are the audiences in Shreveport receptive to your style of comedy?GS: Being received well is all about reading your audience. You’re putting yourself out there on display, and they’re either going to love you or hate you. There’s no, meh… You might give a review like, it was ok, but in your heart of hearts, you hated the comedian. And you have to be careful of what you say around here, because the Bible Belt is very strong. But on the other end, there’s always that one guy that wants to turn a comedy show into conversation. “Oh, I agree with you.” Well… Shut up. The shows are normally on Wednesdays, and at $5, it’s a great deal. And, if you’re a single lady, you know. You get free alcohol. No, like, literally. It’s ladies night there.

CG: How do you think Shreveport has influenced your comedy?GS: Small, crappy audiences have made it to where when you get in front of a big crowd, it’s not hard. Shreveport has the potential to be so much better. I believe Shreveport has [potential]… because, there was a time when we were a big deal. The Louisiana Hayride, Elvis got his start here, George Carlin got his start, it could still be here. There are so many beautifully talented, wonderful people here. We have to support that. But in January, I will be departing this fine town. I’m headed to L.A. to take the world by storm.

CG: So, what was it like to open for Stanhope?GS: Stanhope’s an awesome guy, like, I thought he was gonna be a […]. But you can’t judge a comic by his comedy. He was a very nice, very kind human. Very approachable. I mean, it’s intimidating because its Stanhope. He told me I should probably invest in some day-drinking, and I told him that was .07.07

READ MORE BOOKS GRAFFITI ARRIVES IN SHREVEPORT ON HISTORIC BREWERY, I-20 AT I-49

GLENN STUART: THE INTERVIEWCandace D. Gahan candace@winecountrynet.com

The fluttering pages of a rudimentary book were recently painted atop one of Shreveport’s most signal historic buildings. It is a symbol that has been painted on buildings coast to coast. “It has been part of the street scene in New Orleans for years,” said a local source. It is the sign of a street writer or writers called Read More Books. Juxtapoz.com says, “Juggling between countless names, monikers, and cities, remaining elusive and off the ra-dar has been an effective force behind the graffiti of Read More Books,” in a December article.

Doug MacCash, arts writer for Nola.com, recognized a wave of Read writing in a 2009 post in which he said, “Gaia, a Brooklyn street artist, said that though he doesn’t know Mr. READ (aka Read More Books or The Booker), he believes that the ambitious tagger has hit San Francisco, Cleveland and New York, as well as New Orleans.”

On the 1904 Caddo Brewery Building there is an addi-tional sign: a whistle. It is emblazoned with the initials WB. That may or may not refer to “whistleblower.” He-liopolis’s anonymous source added, “The whistle, which is a national phenomenon, has been seen all over downtown recently.”

MacCash continued, “As an art critic, I’ve always been ambivalent about reviewing graffiti. On one hand, most graffiti remains more antisocial that artistic. On the other, graffiti is very fashionable these days, and, let’s face it, way more people see it than ever cross the threshold of an art gallery or museum.”

a party that started in Shreveport long before he showed up. But it was cool, you know. I asked him can I have a picture with you, and the one he gave me was of him tweaking my nipple. I figured it was classy. I mean, it’s only appropriate. I’m like a foot and a half taller than him, and I outweigh him by a good 200 pounds. Like, you gotta make me seem cute and cuddly, too. But in this picture I’m really, really happy about it. I mean, not about the nipple tweaking.

Information on Stuart’s upcoming shows can be found on his Facebook.

Stuart would like to thank his mother, his father, his little brother Wesley, Bubbs Harris, Caroline Picard, Mattie Catania, Doug Stanhope, Kristen Becker, David Allen, Sarah Spooner, Chris Washburn, Lee Marvin Adams, Tony Alford, and GMD Entertainment.
