One of the most anticipated new arrivals in downtown is almost upon us as the Hippodrome has announced its Grand Opening Week to be held November 14-19.
Actually, the Hippodrome isn't new, it's classic. But it's new remodeled form after $2.6 million in renovations is as worthy of new-stuff celebration as anything. On Friday, the Hippodrome released its plans for opening week, but we learned some additional specifics today.
The Hippodrome staff told me just now that training for the restaurant staff will begin next week with a target of opening the in-theater restaurant on Nov. 17. It won't be open for the big country show on Nov. 14, but by the time The Digital Age plays there on Nov. 19, patrons will be able to dine and drink.
In case you missed it, all the opening week events were properly detailed in the Waco Tribune-Herald's story on Friday. Click here to read it. The country show on Nov. 14 will feature Restless Heart, Lorrie Morgan and Mel Tillis.
First-run movies are set to roll on Nov. 20 and we'll try to get a list of shows and times.
Anyone up for a downtown Waco night of Kuma then a movie at the Hippodrome then postgame at Muddle soon?
