Movie Night Was Groovy Indeed!

Thursday was a great night to be in South Milwaukee.

It started with a successful farmers’ market, which included another memorable jazz concert presented by the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center to go along with the unique shopping and great eats we deliver every week.

Then, starting after the market at 8:15, it was showtime. That’s when the first of three Groovy Movie Nites began. It was a great scene, as hundreds of people — including countless families and children — took in a showing of Megamind on a huge inflatable screen near 11th and Madison Avenues.

Thanks to Alderwoman Lisa Pieper for leading the initiative, which was a wonderful example of the type of special event we can bring downtown to drive its revitalization and growth. And there’s two more to go: Gnomeo & Juliet is August 11, and Kung Fu Panda is August 18.
