The remaining hours of 2010 are upon us and as we look back we on this fabulous year, we thought it would be fun to share the Divas “Best of 2010” with you. We were overwhelmed by the quality and quantity of great arts performances we experienced this year. Also, although we were sad to see some small local stores close down, we were impressed with how many new great local boutiques and restaurants opened this year. So as we raise a toast to the end 2010 – here is our favorites things we will be honoring in 2010. Hopefully some of these will become your favorites as well.
