Chad: Mark could do the work, but someone like Theo would be on site and in charge. The person on site has the final say. If Mark’s workmanship is wrong or not up to our standards, it would have to be redone to meet the standards.

Bette: We deal with exacting artist all the time, we understand those terms. I’ve been known to have a crew redo work. At one time I owned my own gallery.

Chad: That’s where that passion and creative spirit comes from.

Bette: I really loved that work, but now I’ve come to love what we do at the museum. Working with the full force of the Whitney behind me packs a mean punch. You would have really laughed at my call if I had asked you to show at my little gallery.

Theo: Chad would have never even gotten that message. It would have been “lost” long before his desk.

Chad: This next part of our tour will involve shopping. We have numerous shops on Main Street that have some unique and historical pieces. Some are items that can be bought and sold as retail and others are fixtures in our establishments that we could talk about loaning for the length of the exhibit.

Theo: I’m going to drop off for this part of the tour, but will see you both tomorrow.

Chad: Margaret Williamson will join us for this part of our day. Let’s start at Casey’s, its right down from Crystal Palace. It’s a hotdog joint, but has some cool pieces on the wall.

The threesome walks over to Casey’s then across the street to the Plaza ice cream shop.

Bette: I have a feeling I’ll be back here with Tina. She loves ice cream and chocolate.

Chad: This is a great place for her fix then. I usually find a treat at the Main Street Bakery.

Margaret: Hey, sorry I’m a bit behind you.

Bette: Not to worry we were just discussing sugar as art by Disney.

Margaret: Gosh there is plenty of that on Main Street.

Hector: I’m Hector and this is Bette.

Bette: Nice to meet you.

Chad: Margaret is an expert on our jewelry and fine art collections here on Main Street. Let’s head up to those shops.
