CHICAGO — We had a cool, rainy and dreary start to the week, but today is expected to be sunny, 75 and fabulous.

Here are ways you can celebrate.

1. See a Movie: The 1974 film "Claudine," starring a young James Earl Jones, screens outside the South Shore Cultural Center tonight. The film follows a single mom working to support her six children on welfare. There's also a romantic twist. Free. Movie starts at 8 p.m. at the South Shore Cultural Center, 7059 S. South Shore Drive.

2. Eat Crepes in the Park: Did you know that there's an outdoor crepe stand in Welles Park? Well, there is! Bring a book and eat a crepe in the grass. Or snag a book from the library across the street. Bonus: Now that Little League baseball season is over, the park is less crowded. Prices vary. Crepes served from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Welles Park, 2333 W Sunnyside Ave.
