Lincoln (my hometown) is a small city or a big town, depending on whether you’re calculating by US standards or by whole world standards. In Nebraska, it’s the big city.
Columbus (my current lodging place) is a small town, no doubt. A small city by Nebraska standards.
But Schuyler, Nebraska is a small town by anyone’s standards.
Nevertheless, one Sunday afternoon a group of us younger women who somehow found ourselves working and residing in and around Columbus made our way to the smaller town of Schuyler, Nebraska to enjoy a movie.
For five dollars collected by Boy Scout volunteers, we saw The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (without 3D, thank goodness!) in a tiny community theatre.
We sat about in the middle of the theatre.
Five people sat in front of us.
Maybe twelve sat behind us.
The theatre shows one movie a weekend–7 pm on Friday and Saturday, 2 pm on Sunday.
The movies are generally family-friendly, PG-13 at worst.
We’re considering making it a habit.
Small-town theater-going girls.
That’d be us.
