This week we went to the Bijou Theatre in Lincoln City to see The Help. The Bijou is a cool 2nd run movie theater run by a couple, Keith and his wife Betsy. Prior to the Bijou the theater was called the Lakeside Theater and has been open since 1937. I was reading online about it today and learned that I should have checked out the ladies lounge where I could see some old timey graffiti.
The movie The Help was good, but the book
