Sunday, July 21st. A friend and I made our first visit to the Tara theater today, and I have no qualms in stating this is one of the best movie theaters that I've ever attended! Good mantainance, clean floors, and such a clear love for cinema through its classic movie posters and portraits of actors and directors. The Art Deco architecture with that decoration alongside the old-school filmmaking equipment on display filled me with joy.

Read moreNice small multi screen theatre. Attracts a diverse crowd of Indie lovers. Nice cafe in the large well lighted lobby. Really good latte. Saw the Miles Davis biopic with Black. Fun to spend time with him, a Davis like look and character. He misbehaved a little but still...I liked the film particularly Don Cheadle in it as Miles and the dark beauty who played his wife. A complex man was Miles. Not a walk in the park but well worth the effort to know him. Were his abuses drug related or something more sinister? In so many ways he was a stand up guy in a time when all Black men were routinely disregarded, disrespected, brutalized and dismissed regardless of their status high or low.
