Tuesday Night Movies

Tuesday Night Movies
Summers During the 1960s
With My Family
Philadelphia, PA


There must have been a family night deal at this theatre during the summer because we went to lots of movies as a family.  We would pile in to the station wagon after dinner and go to the movie theatre on City Avenue. My grandparents would often come with us as well and we saw some great movies.

We never bought any of the many or popcorn.  As my father would tell us, "The movie is the event."  So we knew not to ask. But after the movies, we wandered over to Baskin and Robbins for an ice cream cone.  I always got mint, chocolate chip. I thought this was high living. I love going to the movies.
