More 100 cars will create a series of “mini parades” that will make their way to designated locations, as the artists spend time showing off their rolling masterpieces. Designed to “bring the parade to the people,” this events finds Art Cars and their artists visiting schools, hospitals, nursing homes, developmental facilities and other locations where residents may not be able to participate on their own on parade day. Trust us.On Thursday, April 13, the Main Street Drag will be going on all over Houston. Either way, our list is perfect for escaping reality with the epochal characters of a beloved decade-Chunk, Ferris, Indy, Baby, Loretta-because going through bouts of uncertainty in a time capsule is a lot better. Some you know and love, and some you might be experiencing for the first time. Here, we’ve culled a robust selection of ’80s movies for your viewing pleasure. The decade is a wealth of feel-good, top-tier cinematic fare, be it a humorous dissection of the adolescent experience from John Hughes, a cultural touchstone that leaves a massive lump in your throat, or a rhythmic celebration of dance and music from a subgenre that was peaking. The New Coke, leg-warmer, shoulder-pad, badass bitchin’ ’80s. And when conflict could be solved with a dance-off. When the cordless phone was cutting edge. You know, when the synthesizer was considered awesome. Still unsure of what’s to come, we find ourselves looking for comfort in simpler, more favorable times.

A pandemic, social unrest, political division, the assault on women’s rights. But the past few years have challenged us. When the ball dropped on a new decade, expectations for 2020 were lofty.
