Everyone should be familiar with Crest Hardware’s ever-witty annual art show. Local artists contribute works that incorporate hardware, then install them within the store in sly and outrageous manners. This year’s show extends beyond Crest’s walls, with a day of events and (possible) permanent installations down the street at Macri Park on Union and Metropolitan. There is an open call for artist submissions and the deadline is on May 18, so if you’ve got a creative idea to turn your hammer into an artistic tool, make sure you apply before it’s too late. The opening and park party are scheduled for June 13. Get all the details here.

Uncle Louie G’s Ices to Open on Graham
One morning last week, I poked my head into the construction site for the newest Uncle Louie G’s Italian Ices franchise, just off the Graham Avenue L-stop, where it’s replacing the decades-old Sweets ‘N Things. (Sweets ‘n what Things? I always wondered.) As a lifelong customer of Ralph’s, I was wary of the place, but it only took about four minutes for Louie G’s charming proprietor, Michael LaMarca, to win me over.
LaMarca is a warm personality, who has already ingratiated himself with the businesses on the block and the old-timers in the neighborhood. “Everyone has been so nice and welcoming,” he tells me, before waving to someone arriving for work next door at Loco Burrito. “There’s my man!” he shouts, before telling me, “He makes me the best salads.”
