Paula Poundstone at The Rialto, Friday the 28th

For anyone who wants something quieter than an amphitheater show, Paula Poundstone is at The Rialto on Friday, August 28 at 8 pm. 1620 Glenwood Ave, up in Five Points.

The Rialto is a lovely old room and the parking around there is street and small lots, so plan accordingly. Anyone else going?

fewer bridges, more switches

We are a few blocks away so we walk. Fair warning to everyone else, the neighborhood streets fill up fast on show nights and some of them are permit only. Read the signs.

Love that theater. Seats are old school and a little tight but the sound is good and you can actually hear the jokes.

check your setbacks

Going. Bought tickets the week they went up.

Make an evening of it and eat in Five Points first. Just do not try to find a table at 7 on a Friday without calling ahead.

not speaking for the board

Good advice all around. We will walk over from Mordecai if the weather cooperates.
