coolest thing cincinnati has ever done


see that? that is the big screen that was added as part of the fountain square revamp a while back. know what is one it? the goonies! that's right, this past saturday evening we got to see the goonies on the (somewhat) big screen.

i just found out about this last week, but apparently all summer they are doing movie night every saturday night on the square. there are two features, they say the first is usually animated (but not this time, it was the goonies). it was a heck of a lotta fun. we brought our own chairs like the website suggested, but turns out they leave the chairs and tables out that are there during the day (makes sense) so most people were sitting in those (but my chair has a foot rest, so jokes on them). there were vendors there, including skyline (not really a fan) but i saw several families with off-site food (like subway).

it was kinda like a drive in, only free and you don't have to drive (and the movies arn't new releases, but hey, it's free!)

last weekend they showed batman begins, tying in with the release of the new movie.

next weekend the movies don't look like must sees, but i look forward to the iron giant coming up on Aug 30!
