Drive My Car moves into Chicago too....

[Allan Balliett]

Not news at all if I had read Mark's earlier post (and if I didn't screen
for 'streaming' over 'showing) but I was excited to see that DRIVE MY CAR
has at least 5 showings within 90 miles of  45% toothless West Virginia
this weekend (in Baltimore and DC -environs)

I'm going to hit the Baltimore Theater (The Charles) tomorrow because it's
charming, technologically astute, and has plenty of nearly free parking
 And,, beside, Baltimore has a much better Psychedelic Museum than DC does.

-Allan in WV (Who saw the WV statistic in an anti President Manchin article
this week asking "why won't he support adding dental care to Medicare?)
