FREE MOVIE NIGHT: The Highland Park Improvement Club presents another Movie Night! Doors open at 6:30 pm, movie starts at 7. Popcorn, candy and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. Our movie license does not allow us to publish the movie title, so here’s this month’s hint: Adam Sandler’s 2008 movie for kids. Movies will be shown in the dance hall, with chairs available for seating. Or, bring blankets, pillows, folding chairs (that won’t scratch the floor) and camp out on the floor!

      Well, that proves they’re not the same ones that have been on the beach for a decade or so, then. I remember similar-looking ones there at Cove Park when I took my son down there in his relatively early years. Maybe 5 or 6 (and he’s now 15). Wow! – TR
