Jan. 21: The Moon, Movies and More

Saying "Moon over Three Village" doesn't have the same ring as, say, "Moon over Miami" or even "Moon over Mattituck." If you're brave enough to weather the cold, say it all the way to a special event at the beach later on. Other buzz words as we end the work week include matinee movie, teen night, graffiti and taxes.
