Junkyard Drive In: Behind the Screen

Buffalo Bayou Partnership, Aurora Picture Show, and The Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) present a drive-in screening of industrial and informational films on the subject of oil, at the site of a former auto junkyard on Buffalo Bayou on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Pack your tailgate picnic, or buy dinner from the mobile taco stand, and then tune in your car radio to learn about the industry that makes Texas tick.
