There's a local little cafe that's doing something COOL in Jackson. Anyone will tell you that there's a paucity of unique or cultural experience opportunities in Jackson. If you're a Union student, you have access to a lot more stuff to do for fun, but outside of that (and eating at the gazillions of restaurants we have here), there's not much.
However, Soup du Jour decided to do something about that this summer (and no, I'm not some kind of representative for them)! Brad came home a few weeks ago and mentioned to me that Soup du Jour was going to be hosting movies this summer. We missed the first one (Casablanca) but definitely made it to the second (Lady and the Tramp)! It was great fun. The concept behind it all is that local restaurants sponsor an evening and provide a limited menu for those wanting to eat al fresco while watching the feature. This past Friday, the Old Town Spaghetti Store had spaghetti and meatballs (get it? Lady and the Tramp? so cute).
If you're not eating the official meal, you just take your chairs (or blankets) and set up in the street. You can also purchase snow cones, nachos, or popcorn. We went with snow cones this week, but we'll probably give popcorn a whirl this next week, which will be Grease.
So much fun. Looking forward to this week, too! Bonus: they're hosting a Grease sing-off before the movie!
