The Quadrantid meteor shower is expected to peak this weekend. If you’re trying to spot these elusive meteors streaking through the sky, bundle up and head somewhere dark. Consult this chart for the best viewing hours for your location + check out the Dark Skies International map for spots with lower light pollution.
By our count, the darkest skies within driving distance are Groveland + Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park.
This year, my resolution is to see at least one movie per month at the Polk Theatre. I saw “White Christmas” there last week, and the experience was so fun — and not to mention affordable. You can catch one of my favorites, “When Harry Met Sally,” there tonight at 7:30 p.m.
