Eagle Archives, Aug. 26, 1961: Liquor store is also an art gallery thanks to owner’s talent with brush | History

Not every liquor store doubles as an art gallery. But at Jimmie’s Dalton Avenue Package Store you can buy a six-pack and take in an art exhibit simultaneously.

The canvases are by Jimmie himself, namely, James J. O’Malley Jr. Around the store, arranged above the groaning shelves of goodies, are some 25 paintings, products of the proprietor.

Do you ever sit around looking at celebrity red-carpet photos from fancy events and think about what you would wear if you ever got invited to that event, even though the chances of that ever happening are slim to none? Well, I do, and despite being entirely made up in my own head, the prospect

Art collection at Allegiant Stadium looks at Raiders and Las Vegas history

Elvis is there, of course. So are
Rat Pack poster boy Frank Sinatra, film goddess Marilyn Monroe and a bemused alien from Area 51, because no self-respecting collection of Vegascentric art could exclude icons like those.
