Hi y’all! It’s been awhile … Welcome to the new look of “Uptown Life!”
Each blog I’ll introduce you to someone I know through a New Orleans version of the Proust Questionnaire. Naturally the perfect inaugural person is St. Charles Avenue’s Executive Editor and entertainment expert Beverly “Bev” Church!
I’ve worked with the colorful and fabulous Bev on Avenue for about eight years now, and treasure her friendship at work and in my daily life. She is as upstanding, loyal and ethical as anyone I’ve ever met, and her kindness – for everyone she meets – is unparalleled. To learn more about Bev and what she does, read on and visit BeverlyChurch.com.
