Movie night at the Towne Cinema

Road trip to Watertown

Did you know that Watertown is 52 minutes from Waukesha? I didn't. Thank you Google. My cousin Matt manages the Towne Cinema there, and every so often they host movie nights for family and friends. Last week: "Aladdin" in honor of Robin Williams. 

The Towne Cinema sits on Main Street and it's exactly how you'd imagine it to be. It's quaint and no-frills — homey. We sat just behind a little boy of about six. Right after "A Whole New World," he sighed heavily and said in a voice of sheer adoration: "I love the carpet." And when Jafar uttered the infamous words "I think it's time to say good-bye to Prince Abooboo," a kid in the back row hissed in a know-it-all tone: "It's Ali Ababwa." Kids: priceless.
