So long, Smith

by Lindsay Barnes

The Charlottesville Parks & Rec department tells the Hook that, starting tomorrow, the city will put up a fence around the Smith Pool complex at Buford Middle School on Cherry Avenue, in order to prepare for its imminent demolition. While that’s one less swim option for residents, you can still check out the sports & rec page of the Hook’s “Discover Charlottesville” site for other places where you can get your laps in.

Catch Evan Almighty in the great outdoors

by Lindsay Barnes

The Evan Almighty arkIn case you missed Crozet’s star turn in last year’s Steve Carell-Morgan Freeman comedy Evan Almighty when it came out last year, you can catch it for free on the big screen at Washington Park on Saturday, June 21. They’ll get the movie going at twilight, once it gets dark enough, which they estimate will be sometime after 7:30pm. It’s part of a series of outdoor screenings the City will host at its parks this summer, along with showings of Akeelah and the Bee on Saturday, July 12 at Tonsler Park and E.T. on Saturday, August 9 at Meade Park.
