OHIO The Kent State Museum of Fashion is in the midst of a resurgent renaissance thanks in large part to its curator, Anne Bissonette. Established in 1985, the museum has spent the last quarter century growing into a place for budding fashion designers to study, and for the world to appreciate works of the masters. Dr. Bissonette has been integral in the success of retaining individual pieces in its collection as well as building its viability as a teaching museum.

Businesses are closing up, and some have already been closed for weeks due to the struggling economy. It is not desolate in this area, but it is not bustling, as other neighborhoods in New York would be at this time. As one walks down the streets here, that person might be wondering when something that represents Lower East Side would spring up.

 LOS ANGELES Nowadays, avid followers of restaurant reviews expect to read details about how the beauty of a new dining spot’s interior design complements the entire eating and drinking experience. Often, such comments will focus on the quality of art a restaurant displays.
Yet, as recently as the 1980s, that wasn’t the case. The most one could expect was the sort of European art pastiche that some fussier, more pretentious restaurants displayed—landscapes of Tuscany, for example, in an upscale Italian restaurant, or English sporting scenes in a wood-paneled Prime steakhouse.
