Singin in the Rain in Legacy Park.
The iconic 1952 musical
Singin’ in the Rain will be screened against the outdoor backdrop of downtown’s new Legacy Park.
In a small, socially distanced setting, Slab Cinema’s Downtown Tuesday events feature select films at the intersection of Houston and North Flores streets, in the park across from Frost Tower.
Voted the Greatest Musical of All Time by the American Film Institute and remembered for Gene Kelly’s soaking-wet dance number, Singin’ in the Rain is a transcendent film about making movies and the transition from silent film to “talkies.” Kelly joins co-stars Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds in this MGM classic that is, above all else, happy and lighthearted.
Flanked by a sign reading Columbus is not safe for Black people, organizers who spoke before a crowd Wednesday night outside the Ohio Statehouse disputed the police narrative of a peaceful demonstration the previous night that took a violent turn.
Columbus police and protesters agree on the basic details of what transpired after 9 p.m. Tuesday outside the division s headquarters that culminated with officers dispersing a crowd with mace. That is: that some protesters attempted to enter the building around 9:23, and police took measures to prevent that from happening.
But that s about where the agreement ended.
An organizer who goes by Storm read from a prepared statement around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday before a crowd of about 100. In that statement, Storm said that after more than 100 demonstrators peacefully marched Tuesday night through Downtown Columbus, a smaller group had planned a silent sit-in inside the police headquarters on Marconi Boulevard.

A suspected killer who appears to have escaped a large dragnet in downtown Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon had mistakenly been released from custody due to a data entry error, several law enforcement sources told NBC News.
Steven Manzo vanished after running across the 101 Freeway in jail clothes, and the sources said officials discovered that an incorrect entry in a computer system had led to his release.
