Espresso, frappes & smoothies 1213 80 east Next door to huc a poos in tybee oaks center Joey Goralcyzk is featured as our first writer to appear in our new column, Writer’s Block. Most, if not all of us, have encountered Joey somewhere on this island, as he is one of the drivers of Breezy Riders, our premiere taxi service here on Tybee. He is responsible for writing Taxi Tales each month (along with his dad, Ron), one of our favorite articles! Thank you Joey for regaling us with some of your tales. So naturally, we had to ask him the most important Questions of Life: Tybee Life: 12 years When I grow up I want to be: A history professor My Passion: Southbound IPA, music and hanging out with good people My Spirit Animal: A Shrew Main Street Musings It’s finally summertime on Tybee and that means being outside as much as possible! Sure, the days are filled with sunbathing, gardening, bicycling, spiking volleyballs, etc., but what about when the sun goes down? What will you do with your kids, visiting friends and family, and out-of-town guests without spending too much of that hard-earned money? How about a movie? How about a movie shown outside? How about a movie shown outside for FREE? The City’s Development Authority/Main Street Program presents Movies in the Park on the third Saturday of the month in June, July, and August. Sing is the movie that’ll be shown on June 17. So, pack a picnic, grab a blanket and some beach chairs, and stake your spot at Memorial Park to enjoy Sing. The movie will begin once the sun sets and the stars in the sky begin to shine enough to let the stars be seen on the inflatable screen that will be in front of the Gym wall. Keep in mind that if there is inclement weather the movie will be moved indoors to the gym. For those of you that might not be familiar with Memorial Park, it is centrally located behind City Hall and features lush grass, a covered playground, and a picnic pavilion. The location, with easy access to the bike route, makes this historic park one of our easiest accessible spots to relax. Plus, the park lighting provides enough illumination to facilitate navigating the area without negatively affecting the movie’s visibility when the sky darkens enough. There is ample parking on Butler and in the park’s parking lot, which can be accessed from Jones Avenue. Whether you’ve already seen the movie or not, Sing is a great family film, rated PG. The setting of the movie takes place in a town with no humans, just animals that are like humans. Buster, the koala, realizes he’s going to lose the grand theater he oversees unless he can raise enough money to keep it open. As an eternal optimist, Buster’s concept is elaborate and involves producing the world’s greatest singing competition. The promotional flyers go out and a typo on them attracts even more hopefuls than Buster expected! The story evolves from there as each character explores the expansiveness of their comfort zones and as attitudes shift.
