This week we connect with Amalia “Maya“ Salinas, owner and operator of Wooden Chair Antiques, 5710 Fourth Ave. All her life, Maya has dreamt of owning her own business, and she has finally made her dreams come true in Downtown Kenosha – but there is so much more for her to conquer – she is a strong woman with a vision of her future, and it looks like nobody, even John Fox, will be able to stop her! 

Wooden Chair Antiques is open Wednesdays through Sundays – be sure to stop by the Mega (don’t call it a flea) Market held on the first Saturday of the month through October. 

Follow Maya and Wooden Chair Antiques on Facebook here and also on Instagram and her Tik Tok channel – Live Life Well to keep up to date on all her upcoming plans!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
