How to Stay Active While Social Distancing
Through all the uncertainty around the coronavirus, there are a few recommendations that seem to be globally accepted, like washing your hands often, not touching your face, staying home, and practicing social distancing while you are outside.

Driving along Main Street, your eye is caught by the theatre’s iconic 1930s art-deco neon sign, and fixed by the fat black letters that spell out, across the marquee, the titles of the compelling, acclaimed, and often quite quirky films that are on view or coming soon.
