Twilight Cinema Soulard Market Park


About 100 neighbors and I watched "Zombieland" on an inflatable screen at Soulard Market Park last Thursday night. People brought all kinds of food, drinks, and being Soulard...their dogs. The weather cooperated and gave us some relief from the heat that evening - really relaxing.
Bill Murray's cameo was a hoot!
