Looking for a Valentine’s Day weekend outing that’s a little less rom-com and a little more noir? Step into the stylish world of classic Hollywood with The Thin Man, a sparkling 1934 pre-Code film that blends romance, wit, and a classic whodunit into one unforgettable cinematic experience on Sunday, February 15, at 2:30 p.m. at the Pensacola Little Theatre.

Starring William Powell and Myrna Loy as the iconic Nick and Nora Charles, The Thin Man follows a retired private detective and his wealthy, quick-witted wife as they find themselves drawn into a clever, fast-paced whodunit filled with eccentric suspects, sharp dialogue, and irresistible chemistry. Their wire-haired fox terrier, Asta, nearly steals the show.

This screening on February 15 is a perfect day-after–Valentine’s celebration for couples, friends, and classic film lovers alike. Hosted at the historic Pensacola Little Theatre, guests can enjoy the film in true retro style with movie popcorn, sodas, water, and traditional theater candy—bringing back the charm of a bygone moviegoing era.

Part of the UWF Gulf Coast Culture Pensacola Noir Series, Valentine’s Noir: The Thin Man offers a delightfully unconventional romantic outing—equal parts flirtation, laughter, and classic whodunit intrigue.

Come for the crime. Stay for the banter. Celebrate Valentine’s weekend in classic theater style.

This event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the UWF College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities and the John C. Pace Symposium Series.

Join CivicCon for a free, public conversation with Henry Grabar, journalist and author of Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World, on how parking has come to dominate the American built environment and what that has cost our cities. Since the rise of the automobile, we have reshaped our neighborhoods in a relentless quest for car storage, devoting enormous amounts of valuable land to empty vehicles.

Henry will explore how parking requirements drive up the cost of housing, influence traffic and transit, shape neighborhood politics and municipal budgets and degrade the quality of public space. Henry will ask a simple but urgent question: is parking really the best use of our finite resources or can rethinking it help us build more affordable, livable and resilient communities?

Henry Grabar is a journalist based in Boston who writes about cities. From 2016 to 2025 he was a staff writer at Slate where he wrote the Metropolis column, with a focus on housing, transportation, and the environment. He was the editor of The Future of Transportation anthology (Metropolis Books, 2019), and was the author of Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World (Penguin Press, 2023), which was named a best book of the year by the New Yorker and the New Republic.

This event is free and open to the public.
