      We think so, too, Monika. This town began in the 1960s as a retirement village but has since reinvented itself as1 a family-oriented place to live.

    such a cool idea… Here in Westland, they do the movies once every couple weeks. As I have not gone, I am not certain of how elaborate the set-ups are, but I hear tell that everyone has a good time.

    Looks like a fun time. I’m glad they do stuff like this. We have something similar in a nearby park, but no food.

    Speaking of, the Fried Green Tomatoes looks pretty good.

    Another cool Lakeway idea. I’m always so impressed by the variety of events that you have in your city, John. I’m surious about the viewing experience in the daytime. Were you able to see the picture clearly?

      The show started at 7:00, which was before sunset. The giant TV is very visible in the daylight. The photo I took of the screen was at 6:45. The digital signal is scrambled by the camera, but you can see that the picture can be viewed in the light. Thanks, Pete.

    Loving Lakeway. Outdoor movies in the summer are a wonderful experience. I still like going to the Drive-In… the one that’s left.

        Yes, they have disappeared by and large. We still have a couple just outside of the city, and a new one built in the city by the lakeshore. 🎥X 🍿X OX
