St. John Court
On Superbowl earlier this year, the young families of the Court (which is how we refer to the cul de sac of cottages that begins with my neighbor Jerri’s house) got together and hung a self made screen and projected the victorious game of the Saints vs the Colts. This year, with all the joie de vivre still there for the Saints, they have made a more permanent screen where they have shown the night games and now expect to branch out to begin showing kid’s movies.
This is because this group of people all have young children and all live in the insular world of the Court where there have been challenges and then triumphs in how to share space and also growth and bonding that came from the levee failure of 2005 as well as other tribulations. Nothing rallied the Court more than winning the Superbowl though and now having this outdoor theater is bringing them together again.
I was just lamenting to Tatjana the demise of the drive in theaters – I grew up going to these movies and frankly there is nothing like an outdoor theater.
