    Review by Clare Coppel: 4x Africa in the main gallery, a group show of photography by Chris Smith, Brandon Bannon, Elaine Ling and Gloria Baker Feinstein, features images of Africa in color and black and white. School children and school books, portraits and places. Elaine Ling's pictures of giant trees are particularly impressive.

    Comment by AB: Three person art show at this eclectic meandering establishment specializing in "fashionable living in petite places." Don't forget to visit the garden promenade out back.
