July 9-10: Turning Up The Heat

This is one of those weekends when it really pays to keep one's cool.

Whether it's ducking in to see a movie at (one of the few in the world seemingly free of Harry Potter hysteria) or wandering about Atlantic Terminal Mall—there are plenty of escapes from the sticky, mid-July heat right here in our own backyard.

Here are your 5 Things for this weekend:

1. The New York Times ran this profile of DeJuan Marshall, charged and jailed for a robbery and attack against four musicians last month in Bed-Stuy that he claims he cannot remember.

2. : a hotspot for local vendors, artists, and designers. Grab a bite to eat, shop vintage finds, or snag a great piece of art. Today starting at 10 a.m.

3. In case you missed it: meet former Fort Greene resident Bryan Procope, affable, well spoken—and after more than two years, .

4. with an all-day Bastille Day celebration on Smith Street on Sunday. The festivities will include drinks, food, live music, and the U.S.'s largest pétanque.

5. Alternate side parking rules are in effect this weekend.
