Life is like...

Life is like one week in New Orleans.........only stretched over a longer period of time.

Found out some really great news today - The Webster cinema is coming back to life. Webster Groves last fall overturned their plans to create antiseptic condos and 'retail villas' in the heart of the city. Now a renovation group has taken ownership of the Ozark Cinema, with the intent on building a modern multi-purpose Theatre for local plays, performances, and inspiration. Bravo to creative thoughts and grounded people.

Here is the Ozark Theatre back in the arly sixties, before the 'modern' renovation. I kinda like the stateliness of the facade, and the upstairs offices. 

Here is what it looked like when I was just a little tike...popping wheelies off the stairs into on-coming traffic (that should explain a few things). 

Life...shrinks or Expands in proportion to your courage.

Welcome to the Mignano-Thompson Superbowl 2005 Party

- curious what this year may hold for all of us?...

Invitation

Kick off the New Year right - with a Superbowl Party in a league of its own.

Join Susan and Greg as they toss a spectacular event with plenty of cheers, and a little gridiron action on the sidelines.

If you attended last year's party you certainly can't pass, but if this will be your first gameday, you'll soon be a running back rather than a punter.

Little Fans are always welcome!
But, Big Fans must be supervised at all times!

Unfortunately, the stadium does not have parking.
So, a shuttle service is being provided to the event.
Please park in the MontClair Public Parking lot at 6235 La Salle and Lucas.

There will be a limousine service circling throughout the day (2:30 til 7:30). Just mention the Thompson Party for a free ride.

We want to televise a sold out event, so please reply before Friday if your tickets need to be scalped. And keep in mind the lottery drawing in the fourth quarter, for the chance to spend a luxury night on the couch - if your agent says you're number is being retired.
