Another item to file under “Why I Love Portland”. So, it’s a normal Friday night (the 27th) and I’m in the car with my parents after eating dinner at ¡Oba! in the Pearl (great tapas). As we pass Pioneer Courthouse Square on our way home what do I see but hundreds of people watching Grease (Randal Kleiser, 1978) — outdoors!

I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t know a thing about Flicks on the Bricks. So in case there is anyone else out there out of the loop, they’re free movies in Pioneer Square every Friday in the summer. Here’s the rest of the schedule:

August 10: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (G) (Mel Stuart, 1971)
August 17: Stand by Me (R) (Rob Reiner, 1986)
August 31: Batman (PG-13) (Tim Burton, 1989)

And if there are any other free movies out there I’m ignorant about, for God’s sake someone tell me…!

Later,
Lance
