Its seems to be that Movies on the Block is destined to be soggy this season. As much as we love being outdoors in the city on a summer evening, the down side is our vulnerability to mother nature. For some strange reason, this year’s rain seems to enjoy falling on Thursday evenings, and that is why we are setting an official rain date for all movies that are canceled from here on out.
MOVIES ON THE BLOCK IS STILL SCHEDULED FOR EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT. If the movie you want to see is rained out on a Thursday evening, we will be showing it the following Saturday. Same place, same time, same movies, just on a dry day.
Make sure to check the blog on Thursdays around 5pm for cancellation notices.
See you at the movies!

These life size German anatomical charts from the Dresden Hygiene Museum, circa 1940’s, are life size, and make a fantastic impression. They’re hanging on the wall at Heir Antiques at 57 Eddy St., where they are two of many covetable objects. We think they’d be a great gift for a doctor friend, a collector of art, or just about anyone interested in design.
