NOW OPEN 1 Kim Guthrie’s Gallery and Studio at 115 W. Virginia St., Ste. 101, in Downtown McKinney, reopened Jan. 7, more than four months after an Aug. 15 alleyway re forced it to close. The downtown gallery and studio sells resident artist Kim Guthrie’s paintings and papier-mache art pieces. The space also doubles as a classroom with various painting and papier-mache courses taught by Guthrie. Guthrie’s studio, located inside the Hal Harbor Nationwide Insurance building, is just two doors down from Rye Craft Food & Drink, a restaurant which closed the day after the re due to damages and has not reopened since. While the

studio was closed for repairs, McKinney residents and businesses helped Guthrie keep working out of her home by com- missioning her artwork, she said. Guthrie said she was thankful for the community support and plans to host an ocial grand reopening sometime in the spring. 530-925-6610. www.kimguthrieart.com 2 A new Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop opened in North McKinney on Jan. 18, according to a representative for the restaurant.
