Downtown Announcements & Events

The DHDP applauds the efforts of Dr. Harvey,
President of Hampton University, and the
outstanding group of citizens that have formed the new
'Hampton First'.  This leadership group was
formed as a result of the recommendations made
by Yaromir Steiner to Hampton City Council last
December.  The DHDP supports the efforts of this
group to take the Downtown Master Plan into
the next phase of development and implementation.
This is an exciting step in creating a solid foundation
for shaping the future of downtown, its waterfront,
and the City of Hampton.

COLUMBIA PICTURES'  

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN™:  

AN IMAX 3D EXPERIENCE  

SWINGS INTO THE VIRGINIA AIR & SPACE CENTER'S   RIVERSIDE 3D IMAX THEATER ON JULY 3  

 

 The untold story of Peter Parker will begin when  

The Amazing Spider-Man™: An IMAX 3D Experience  

spins a web of intrigue and adventure at the Virginia Air & Space Center's Riverside 3D IMAX Theater on July 3.   

Join Peter on his journey when tickets go on sale June 19.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of  

Peter Parker , an outcast high schooler  

who was abandoned by his parents as a boy,  

leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen)  

and Aunt May. Like most teenagers,  

Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how  

he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding  

his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy, and  

together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets.  

As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged  

to his father, he begins a quest to understand his  

parents' disappearance - leading him directly to  

Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's  

former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision  

course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter  

will make life-altering choices to use his powers and  

shape his destiny to become a hero.  

 <http://www.meninblack.com/>  

 

  The Amazing Spider-Man has been rated PG-13  

for sequences of action and violence.  

The Riverside IMAX Theater at the Virginia Air &  

Space Center is located at 600 Settlers Landing  

Road in Hampton.  For information on tickets and  

showtimes, please call (757) 727-0900, ext. 703
