Science on the Screen: Imitation Game at The Capri
For $20, it’s hard to find a better bargain for your entertainment dollars than the Science on the Screen at The Capri. That price got us two movie tickets, a bottle of water, and our brains stuffed full of information about World War II and cryptography. It was a lot of fun. First of all, […]
The Best Laid Plans….
If you’ve read many of my posts here — or if we’ve met to discuss the possible renovation of your home — you’ve heard (or read) me say, “Where renovation is concerned, you need to allow twice as much money and ten times as much time as you had originally anticipated.” That phrase can most […]
Mid- to Late-Summer Planning
It’s hot. Crazy hot. But you can’t just retreat into your homes until October, emerging only for work and vital social obligations. The need to remain air conditioned must not be allowed to erode your social life. Here are some events coming up in Midtown Montgomery that merit putting onto your planner. 1. We posted […]
Late Fall Schedule
We’ve been doing Midtown Montgomery for a couple of years now, and we regularly talk about how much we enjoy the time of year both before and after Halloween. We’ve talked about our favorite haunted houses, the Haunted Hearse tour, and the many other virtues of late fall. This year, we are reflecting on the […]
Spring Events Calendar
It’s March 5, the anniversary of the Boston Massacre and the birthday of both Rosa Luxemburg and Andy Gibb. This got us thinking – what important events about town are we missing by not putting them in our calendar? Montgomery may not be ready for spring, but no matter – it’s already here, technicolor azaleas […]
Supergroup Coming Sunday
You may never have heard of The New Orleans Suspects, but you will not forget them once you hear them. Five incredibly talented musicians make up the group, which is an offshoot of several great New Orleans bands – The Radiators, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and The Neville Brothers Band. They will make their […]
The Joy of No Place to Park!
I spend most of my waking hours at my office, 1044 E. Fairview in Cloverdale’s Five Points. Weekdays, I arrive before 8:30 and stay until at least 6:30, often 7:30 or so. And because we have Halle, our office cat who insists on eating on Saturday and Sunday, weekends find me here every morning and […]
Third Annual Montgomery Film Festival
On Saturday night we got ourselves over to The Capri, just like last year, to see the third annual installment of the Montgomery Film Festival. It was a great way to spend a Saturday night. First, there’s the fun of going out to The Capri (which is in the middle of a great run of […]
Montgomery in March
Every once in a while, you’ve just got to pull out the planner and see what’s going on. Nothing is worse than seeing that something cool is going on but you can’t attend because you didn’t know about it in time. To prevent poor scheduling decisions, take out your trusty life map and add the […]
Upcoming Fall Fun
Looking for something to do, but tired of researching to indulge your morbid curiosity about the two tired old folks duking it out in the Alabama Governor’s race? Convinced in some sort of deeply buried sliver of your soul that there might be more to life than consumption of a weekly slate of college football […]
