A Room With a View

It's not quite the silver screen, but the "main stage" of the store will become a theater on Monday evening with two showings of the documentary, Blue Vinyl.

The City of New Albany's Historic Preservation Commission (President, Ted Fulmore) and the Historic Landmarks Foundation (Director, Greg Sekula) are joining us as we wrap up our direct participation in Preservation Month. Thanks to the folks at Circuit City in Clarksville, we'll be able to show the film on a 52" screen.

In response to frequent and ongoing requests, we've scheduled two showings. The 5 p.m. show is for those of you who have been avoiding events at the store because they end too late. A second show will follow shortly after 7 p.m. Hot beverage service is available at our coffee and tea bar - bring your own cold drinks and popcorn.

This independent film examines the PVC industry with humor and solid research to spotlight a blight on civilization - polyvinyl chloride, the stuff they make vinyl siding out of. The environmental and occupational hazards, not to mention the danger to neighbors and emergency workers, far outweigh the aesthetic objections to vinyl. Besides, we'll have experts on hand to show how the application of vinyl siding to your home can actually degrade and devalue the underlying character of your exteriors.

Everyone is invited to these free showings.
