I been a touch cynical about a group of young people who've said they have been trying to breathe life into Downtown Montgomery.
We did an interview on CBS 8 with Hellicity founder Johnny Veres a year or so ago.
I kept looking for the profit connection. Were they being funded by some Utility Company or other big business entity that would suddenly announce their funding? If I promoted this Helicity Montgomery effort, was I being duped into helping someone or something I did not really support?
I give up. If there's anything other than good will and the future of mankind downtown involved, I can't find it.
Helicity and a second group called Denied and UnderExposed Art Initiative held an exhibition last night in the old Kress Store on Dexter Avenue. The owners of the old empty store are converting it into a combination loft/business development. But last night the main floor was filled with art, mostly paintings and prints, and a nice crowd was there too. Anyone who can get a crowd on Dexter at 6:00 on a Friday night is OK by me.
The only negative? The groups plastered Thomas Edison logo promotional signs up on places across town that seem in conflict with their art mission.
