Avalon & Stone Harbor Weekly Update 2/4/2016

THE HARBOR THEATER on 96th Street has been sold and is already undergoing renovations. All seating, screens, and projection equipment have been removed, with work to be finished for the summer season. Rumor has it the new theater will serve wine, beer, and pub food, too!

Need to find yourself? The beach is a great place to look–even in February!

STONE HARBOR WILL PICK UP storm related debris–place items curbside by Sunday, February 7th.

UP BEFORE DAWN? If so you may see five planets and two “bright stars” aligned in the night sky. According to astronomers it’s the best chance in 11 years to see Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, as well as the stars Spica and Antares, all aligned in the sky. The next several nights are moonless, making for ideal viewing conditions if skies are clear. However, an unobstructed southeasterly view is required—making the Seven Mile Beach an excellent vantage point.

SHE’S GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL! Alison Mastrangelo, formerly of Seven Mile Island, arrived in San Francisco Sunday to cover Super Bowl 50 for Fox 21 in Colorado Springs, where she’s worked as a reporter for a year and a half. Alison graduated from Middle Township High School and Rowan University, and used to work at the Windrift Hotel!
