Rochester's Weekly Heartbeat - August 24th

Tuesday, August 23, 2011

by Kate Stromberg

If you’re like me, when September rolls around you often bemoan the fact that you didn’t get to do enough “summer stuff” in Rochester. Well don’t let it happen this year! Get out now while it’s still warm and have some fun! Remember “The Goonies?” The final Movie under the Stars at the History Center is playing this Saturday night at dusk.

Lately it seems the whole city is out on Thursday nights for the Thursdays on First entertainment. The evening will be warm, the food will be delicious and the bands will be awesome. It’s one of the social highlights of the week and it’ll be over soon, so don’t miss out!
