Voices of the South: Jan Gore

  • Sharebar

By Shawn Williams – Dallas South News Editor

I’ve had the idea for “Voices of the South” since we started DSN and I’m finally able to post the first feature. The thought is to marry photo and audio to form a narrative around a resident, former resident, or advocate of Southern Dallas.

Janice Gore, affectionately known as Ms. Jan, is a life long resident of Oak Cliff and owner of Texas Caribbean Foods at Southside on Lamar.  She tells the story of how she met artist Sam Fuller and help him realize one of this dreams while another is still hangs in the balance.  Hope you enjoy.

    Dear Jan

    It is good to be back in touch with you. Your restauarnt is exactly as I would expect it to have become. Congratulations. As you may recall, when Ed and I had our banks in New York State, we also created artists’ galleries out of the amphitheaters/foyees of our businesses to show the works of local Harlem, Buffalo and Brooklyn artists. It was such a rewarding experience.

    Very Good Wishes and Blessings to you. Contact me when you have time.

    LOVE

    BONNIE & ED
