Full Tilt Ice Cream (9629 16th Ave SW): HN Huling ~ Black & White Photography.  Heather says, "I've always found tremendous beauty and grace in the elements most people refer to as "the simple things in life'; the visual and mathematical complexity of plants, seemingly simple emotions expressed on an animal's face or the awe-inspiring views from a cabin window anywhere in the Great Northwest".   When you walk in your nose will tell your taste buds who will tell your conscience to tilt the scales in favor of a flavor of freshly made ice cream to savor!

Herbal Legends-Medical Marijuana Dispensary (9619 16^th Ave SW): Jenna Colby ~  Jenna has a knack for making her paintings seep inside of YOU for a closer look.

Proletariat Pizza – (9622-A 16th Ave SW)- Michael Lowe ~  Microcosm/Macrocosm....you decide what your frame of reference will be as you explore with Michael the ambiguity of space and "story."  Michael works on the elemental level using texture, space, color, shape and balance.  Stop in for your own elemental exploration to which we highly recommend adding some provolone, asiago, gorgonzola and mozzarella cheeses with sauces and pepperoni and......your choice next!
