Watch ‘The Usual Suspects’ at Movies on the Block. Thursday 9/2 – 8pm.

usualsuspects

We’re kicking off the last month of the Movies on the Block series with The Usual Suspects. A boat has been destroyed, criminals are dead, and the key to this mystery lies with the only survivor and his twisted, convoluted story beginning with five career crooks in a seemingly random police lineup. Come on over to Grants Block at dusk this Thursday for a movie under the stars. Grab dinner and drinks at Tazza first or bring your own snacks to enjoy.

Visit Tazza Caffe’s Facebook page for weather updates.
