There’s a fun weekend in store. For starters, the City of Carrollton and DART are hosting an old-fashioned drive-in movie at sunset on Friday. Drive-In at DART presents The Super Mario Bros. Movie in the parking lot at the Green Line’s North Carrollton/Frankford Station. Park in the lot (it opens at 7 p.m.), tune your radio to the station on the screen, and enjoy the movie. Food vendors will be on site.
There’s a lot more DARTable fun lined up. Check out this weekend’s offerings.
