I know most area residents have been to View, the arts center in Old Forge. The new building is incredible and so beautiful.
Personally, I love going there and looking at the art galleries and exhibits. My favorite was the Quilts Unlimited exhibit that was on display in the fall. It’s amazing what some people can create.
View also features many different performances, classes, workshops, and events. It’s never-ending. If you have never been to View, I suggest you pay it a visit.
It’s a good place to go if you feel bored because there are so many programs you can sign up for.
It’s truly an amazing building filled with incredible art and lots of fun activities.

Dear Rosy RoX,
My friend told me a secret involving someone else and it’s not very good. I’m not sure if it’s a rumor or if it’s true, but should I tell that person? I don’t want to hurt her feelings.

That’s a tough one. Sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes no—it depends. What was the secret about?
Is it something that person is going to be able to do something about should they know about it? If that’s the case you may want to tell them—but tell them gently and in private.
In most cases telling them is just going to make them feel bad. People are talking about this person, and that’s not good.
Whether it’s something completely ridiculous, like something they did at a party, or something more complicated, like family problems, the best thing you can do is stay out of it.
The best way to stop rumors is to not listen to them in the first place. If someone starts talking about someone you know—or even someone you don’t, tell them you’re not interested. Just walk away or at least change the subject.
If you do hear gossip or rumors, keep it to yourself and don’t repeat it. Negative energy feeds on negative energy. When you don’t feed it, it will die!
