Free outdoor movie in White Rock, Saturday August 28 2010

There's a free outdoor movie playing in White Rock tonight, Saturday August 28 2010. This will be at 5 Corners, which really hasn't been 5 corners since the early 1990's. Its approximately the corner of Johnston Road (152 Street) and Pacific Avenue (approximately where 10th Avenue would be if White Rock was in numbers). Best suggestion is to get yourself to 152 Street and head south to White Rock. Once you cross 16th Avenue you are no longer in Surrey, you're in White Rock, drive down a few blocks and the street bends to the left. That's 5 Corners. I'm not sure if traffic will be closed on Johnston tonight.

8pm - Hairspray

Movie ends just after 9:30pm. I'd say bring a lawn chair. This is all pavement around here. Blanket won't be too comfortable.

Free outdoor movies

The cities of Surrey and White Rock are offering free outdoor movies this summer. Some dates have passed but August still has a few movies coming. The movies begin at dusk. Arrive early with lawn chairs or blankets to sit on and snacks.

In Surrey, the movies are held at Holland Park, 13428 Old Yale Road. Bring a picnic dinner or buy from the concession and BBQ.

August 8 – Mamma Mia
August 15 – The Lion King
August 22 – Hannah Montana: The Movie

The only one that interests me is Mama Mia, but I already have the DVD at home. And you know, no matter what the city of Surrey says about cleaning up the Whalley area, I just don’t feel all that comfortable about leaving my car unattended in a parking lot in Whalley so I think I’ll pass. The other movies don’t interest me.

White Rock still has some movies on in August. Again, you can bring a picnic dinner or buy from a food vendor who will be on site.

August 15 – Up – showing in the back parking lot of the Central Plaza Mall, approximately Johnston Road (aka 152 Str.) and Thrift Ave.

August 29 – Mama Mia – 5 Corners. It is still called 5 Corners even though a condo/business development took away some of the corners! Approximately Johnston (aka 152 Str) and Pacific Ave.

Now, I just might be interested in seeing this Mama Mia because its in a better part of town. I just can’t figure out where they’re setting up the movie screen. Perhaps they’re closing down part of the street. It might be worth going just to get an answer to that question.
