Lego mosaics, a huge Lite-Brite type board (for those of you who remember those), and a life size horse sculpture you can reassemble. Oh, and it's free. Outdoor sculpture garden covers about an acre and has many large sculptures kids can run among. My two boys, 7 and 10, would have liked to stay longer. Permanent exhibit is small but has some notable artists, like Mary Casatt. Not sure if I was supposed to pay for going in that room? Oops. Temp exhibit for next couple months is photos of rock stars, plus autographed guitars from the collection of a local radio guy. Costs $5 and my wife opted for me not to see it. Some of the guitars are hanging in the main lobby, like Clapton's and BB King's. Not that you would drive to Mt. Vernon *just* to see it, but if you are passing thru on I-64, give it a look for an hour or so.

Sure I miss her, but it's not that lonely, "sobbing on the bathroom floor in a pile of vomit & cat litter" mess. I literally forget how to live. I end up drinking from the toilet and eating hair of the floor. The couch? Forget it, I've got no idea how it works. So, this weekend I was proactive. I stocked up on Wii games, hit up StarClipper for a fresh stack of books, stocked the iPhone with podcasts for a few nice long walks, a stack of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" on the DVR and I read the manual for the couch. After playing Speed Racer on the Wii, I got the urge to see it on the big screen. A movie like Speed Racer, no matter how bad the acting, has to be experienced on the big screen. The closest showing was an hour away in Nashville, IL. Why not, I didn't have anything else to do. I set out with my bottle of Crystal Light and bag of chips. Thankfully the Yankees were playing at the same time, so I got to listen to them beat up on the Astros while the Corolla chugged along 64. When I finally pulled in, I first thought "Frank Capra, is that you?" What an adorable little town. A few families had already pulled up and their kids were running around the parking lot. Small town Americana at it's finest. If I wasn't such a cynical bastard, I would've teared up a little. The State shows one movie at one time. If you didn't want to see Speed Racer at 730 then you could stay at home & churn butter. Walking inside, there was literally one woman inside a short booth working the register. the register wasn't electric. Other establishments keep a manual register around for kitsch value, The State theater actually used theirs. Once the show started, that's when the warm nostalgia gave way to an old, fuzzy projector. I would've had better picture quality on the two-inch screen of my iPod. The screen went black while they were manually changing the reels. i felt like I was watching a bootleg print I bought for $5 off some guy on the bus. And aren't rural folk supposed to be nice & polite? Respect your neighbors & some shit? These people wouldn't stop their incessant yapping. I don't mean to hate, but the picture was really crappy. Growing up, the Canarsie Theatre was our hometown theatre. It was known for it's kosher popcorn and sticky floors. I swear I walked out barefoot at least three times because my sneakers were anchored to the floor from years of spilled Coke. it was gross & charming, but at least they got the picture right! I raced home and kissed my 50" plasma. So much for my romantic, small town adventure.

So, as you'd expect, there are a few churches, a park, a small main street, and a hundred year old crappy yet picturesque movie theater. I have only a couple of experiences here. One--no movie, just a halloween costume contest. I made my daughter a gorgeous home-made costume, and she was beat out by a $5 wal-mart cheapie (turns out it's who you know in a small town) and Two--a free kids movie promotional one summer. We had a great time, but the picture quality hasn't been improved since the 30's I'm guessing. Still, since it is the only movie theater option in this small town, you may want to check it out.
