Many people walk right past the doors of Laserium MedSpa because they believe such cosmetic treatments are extremely expensive and financially out of reach. Kira Gill, owner of the MedSpa says, “Stop!

Seen By Millions, Recognized by Many

Making Music in His Corner of the World
It may seem as though John’s Corner Music Shop is new. It is not. It’s been around for at least eight years, but it moved few years ago and it is a little hard to find.
