I never heard of a BIKE VALEY - must be something.

Some really great movies there - "Double Indemnity" is a great story abour a woman scorned... sop beware men if you have anyu funny business in mind.

Then there is "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" which was one of my very first dates - ever - the summer before High School started...if only I could remember for certain who I took to that movie, was it Barb or Ana? hmmm, now I have something to think about ... (just don't tell my wife - see notes for movie above)

Thanks Kim, it's really unique. The city is so full of electricity! I had a condo at Lake Shore & Randolph for 7 years and I'd go to events like this just to people watch. Fascinating!

John You can't remember your first date! Isn't it funny you remember the movie and not the girl? I've never seen Double Indemnity, guess I'll have to look for it. Your secret is good with us!

I lived in Chicago for a year. I hate to say this, but I never got warm and it was my first year of marriage. Of course it was late fall and winter, and being a California gal I froze to death. Is the out door movie like the drive-ins but in the park instead?

Roberta.. you said "but I never got warm and it was my first year of marriage"..I can't help thinking maybe it was the guy?

Since I am no longer married to him that might give you a clue......
