Bikes, nostalgia at Plaza Theatre

On Sept. 6, The Plaza Theatre invited bike enthusiasts and movie buffs alike to view a display of bike art and a showing of Tim Burton’s cult classic film, Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. The Plaza displayed Pee-Wee’s “Lost Bike” flyers from the film along with pieces from the Bike Art Show, the Sopo Bicycle Cooperative’s effort to bring Atlanta’s love for bicycles to the art scene and raise money for the co-op. Sopo’s first Art Bike Auction occurred in 2008 and only displayed art in one location. This year, they’ve expanded, and art will be displayed in numerous locations around Atlanta, including The Plaza, Dr. Bombay’s Underwater Tea Party, Elliott Street Pub, Homegrown, Java Lords, Java Monkey, Joe’s East Atlanta Coffee Shop, Octane Coffee, Radial
