Casablanca was absolutely great on Saturday. The weather was comfortable and breezy and there was a probably 200 to 250 people in attendance. For all those people who complain that there is nothing to do - if you haven't ventured to Movie Nite - you are really missing out.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 4 for Psycho shown during the last Movie Nite on The Strand event in 2008. We received a great response to our survey which will help in planning the movie schedule for 2009. Top votes included The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Graduate, Footloose, Forrest Gump and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. We also had some requests to show a movie in November and continue the movies in the winter months. Stay tuned. Movie Nite on The Strand is sponsored by the Mitchell Historic Properties, Galveston Park Board of Trustees, and the Historic Downtown Galveston Partnership.
