Drive-In Dreams Come True: Another Covid-Friendly Movie Option

The Moonstruck Drive-In Revs Up in East Houston on Sept. 3.

default

It’s been the summer of the drive-in — and with Labor Day nearly upon us, the retro-savvy trend is sure to drive right on through fall.

Commercial real estate firm Midway is making progress on its 150-acre East River redevelopment project one mile east of Downtown. The East River mixed-use development will sit on the bayou, and is the future home of the Houston Maritime Museum, a five-story apartment complex, retail and office space, and will also connect to the Buffalo Bayou hike-and-bike trail system. And, just announced, it will also be the site of the Moonstruck Drive-In Cinema at East River, which opens on Sept. 3 with a screening of Christopher Nolan’s new spy film Tenet followed by Bill and Ted Face the Music.

A lineup of new releases and classics will be projected onto 40-by-80-foot structures made of shipping containers, and audio will be broadcast on FM radio. Entrances open at 7pm, and films begin around 8:30pm nightly. The 200 parking spots are first-come, first-serve, and cost $25 each. Expect food (and drink!) trucks and other refreshments from East End-area restaurants. Tickets go on sale later this week.

Notably, the Moonstruck Drive-In Cinema is a collaboration between the owners of Blue Moon Cinemas — which pops up all across Texas with inflatable movie screens at parks, birthday parties and more — and the Showboat Drive-In, the largest and the only permanent drive-in theater in the region.

Alira Med Spa's Escarle Silva Travels World ‘Searching for the Best Tricks to Help Others’

Alira Med Spa Owner, World Travel Blogger, Influencer, Philanthropist

Med Spa Owner

As a small business owner, I get to wear many hats. I became an Aesthetician to gain more knowledge about the services my business was going to provide, thinking that I will only focus on the administrative side of the business. Soon I became the business administrator and the lead Aesthetician. Currently, I am hands-on with our social media and marketing promotions, in addition to my regular facial clients. As time has passed, I realized I needed it to ramp up my services and technology to keep up with our competitors and now we offer a wide variety of Medical Spa services such as injectables and laser treatments.
