“Dear PoPville,
As a huge fan of E Street Cinema, I was so happy that they made it through Covid. I am now THRILLED that their online booking system supports seat reservations. Choose your seat and have no fear getting to the theater right at the last minute! Sit exactly where you want to sit! It’s wonderful stuff. Support this DC gem.”
“Dear PoPville,
Lots of commotion and film crews at Freedom Plaza this morning. Any idea what’s going on?”
Update: One reader says it’s Amazon’s Alex Cross Series.
