One of the small highlights of this past summer for me was attending one of the rooftop movie screenings put on by the NW Film Center at the Mallory Hotel. The Mallory is right in the middle of one of my favorite parts of the city, the west end of the West End, full of beautiful old buildings and slightly overlooked-feeling in general.

Despite expecting to be on the roof of the hotel itself, and quickly realizing that the screening was actually on top of their parking garage next door, I still enjoyed the artsy/folksy atmosphere and was barely able to pay attention to the movie (a common affliction for me under any circumstances).
