The Carrollwood Cultural Center will present "ELVIS: A Concert Experience" with impersonator Jim Jinelli on Thursday, Aug. 16 at 8 p.m. The date is significant for Presley fans because it marks the 35th anniversary of his death (Jan. 8, 1935 - Aug. 16, 1977). At the age of 13, Jinelli saw Presley in concert for the first time at the Chicago Stadium. The concert had a profound effect on him. From that moment, the music and magic of Presley captured him for a lifetime. As a teenager, he would sing Presley’s songs hour after hour, mimicking every word, every voice inflection of every song. He studied everything about the phenomenon known as the “King of Rock & Roll." Jinelli’s portrayal of Presley celebrates the King’s performances from 1971 …

Jeanne Forsythe began painting as a child
Between the Carrollwood Cultural Center and the Life Enrichment Center, one thing is clear: North Tampa is a community full of talented artists. We recently talked to one named Jeanne Forsythe, who has shown her work around Tampa Bay, about how she got her start and how the community can see her work. Patch: How did you get your start as an artist? Forsythe: I got started as an artist the same as most children. I was provided with crayons, coloring books, unlined paper and later art classes at school. The difference between a child interested in art and one who is not, in my opinion, is a matter of encouragement. My mother was my encourager. Patch: Who or what influences you? Forsythe: Originally, Disney was my influence. I had those big …
