This week we connect with Amalia “Maya“ Salinas, owner and operator of Wooden Chair Antiques, 5710 Fourth Ave. All her life, Maya has dreamt of owning her own business, and she has finally made her dreams come true in Downtown Kenosha – but there is so much more for her to conquer – she is a strong woman with a vision of her future, and it looks like nobody, even John Fox, will be able to stop her!

Wooden Chair Antiques is open Wednesdays through Sundays – be sure to stop by the Mega (don’t call it a flea) Market held on the first Saturday of the month through October.

Follow Maya and Wooden Chair Antiques on Facebook here and also on Instagram and her Tik Tok channel – Live Life Well to keep up to date on all her upcoming plans!

This episode (S7EP13) was recorded on June 30, 2025 at the Better Call Parise Recording Studio in Downtown Kenosha – call on the Law Offices of Frank J. Parise when your bad day gets even worse!
