In the fourth issue of NoHo Magazine, which was the last issue that was called NoHo News, Pat Solomon of Solbrook Display Advertising Specialists was the feature cover article.

In those days you couldn’t miss Solbrooks on Magnolia Boulevard because they would always set out large celebrity portrait paintings on the sidewalk in front of the shop. Pat was the indomitable owner who even in her eighties was going strong keeping the business going. One of her passions that kept her going was charitable giving, and the Valley Community Clinic was one of her favorite causes.

Here is an email from Pat Solomon’s grand-daughter, Jennifer, that we were delighted to receive this weekend:

Hi Jim,

I somehow landed on your website and noticed you are celebrating your 20th anniversary and are looking for people that were featured back then. I do know someone very special on the list and that is my grandmother who used to own Solbrook Display on Magnolia. She is no longer alive.

I am attaching a photo I have of her with Michael Jackson. She ran the business as long as I can remember and knew so many people in the record industry and was a member of the grammy awards. At the same time, she was so humble and giving and did so much for the community.

Please feel free to email or call me if you would like any additional information.  I think it is great that you are doing this.

Regards,

Jennifer Solomon
