Murray Hollywood

 

Check out the email I received from Tiffany concerning the movie that was partially shot in Murray Hill a little over a year ago originally titled “Throwing Stars” 

I wanted to let you know that a local film Who’s You Monkey (formerly called Throwing Stars) that was shot in Murray Hill is hitting theatres for one week only. Who’s Your Monkey will be shown all week starting tomorrow at the River City Market Place Hollywood Theatre (large shopping center near the airport). Folio is always a great supporter of the local film scene so I thought this would be up your alley!
 
It was screened at the 2007 Jax Film Festival with rave reviews and it also won the Audience Choice award at the CineVegas Film Festival in 2007.
 
Here is more information for you and attached is the poster artwork.

Cheap(er) Gas in Murray Hill

Tired of paying $3.20 for a gallon of gasoline?  Well, relief is on the way…for a short time.  See the flyer below from The Murray Hill Baptist Church:

RE:  Murray Hill Baptist Church will be sponsoring a “Gas Buy Down”

         on Saturday March 15th

Church to Sponsor Gas Discounts for Community

Murray Hill Baptist Church will sponsor an event to ease the pain inflicted at the pump by high gas prices.  On March 15th, 2008, the “Gas Buy Down” will be held at the Kangaroo Express Gas Station located on the corner of Post St. and Edgewood Ave. in Murray Hill.  Beginning at 10 a.m. the price of gas will be reduced by $0.50 per gallon for two hours.  The gas prices will be reset to their original price at exactly 12:01 p.m.

The discount will be limited to 15 gallons per customer in order to provide the discount to as many people as possible.  The gas station will be set up as a ‘one way’ station; with an entrance on Edgewood Ave. and the exit on Post St. / Cypress St.

Kangaroo is pleased to partner with the church and to offer this unique price reduction to its customers.  They will be providing free drinks to customers who purchase gas and will be having raffles throughout the two hour time period.  The Kangaroo mascot will be present as well, to give out balloons to children.

As a follow-up event, the church will be hosting a community wide Easter Egg Hunt the following Saturday, March 22nd at the Four Corners Park at the intersection of Lawnview and Lamboll in Murray Hill.  An inflatable bounce house, egg dying, and other Easter arts and crafts will be available for the children following the egg hunt.  The event will last from 10a.m. to 11 a.m.

“We want to be so much more than a place to gather on Sunday mornings.  We want to make a difference in our community each day of the week.  This is just one way of sharing God’s unconditional love with our neighbors,” says Doug Axtell, Pastor of Murray Hill Baptist Church.

Murray Hill Baptist Church is located at 4300 Post St. and has Sunday morning services at 10:30 a.m.

Thanks to the Kangaroo Express and The Murray Hill Baptist Church for their community involvement, as well as a reader Jay for the heads up.
