What started as a really positive experience, turned negative at the end. We went to the 1:30 showing of Frozen II this afternoon. This was our daughter's 14th birthday celebration. Best popcorn I've had in a long time. Movie was great. Vibrations, thunderous droning sound from whatever nearby were a bit much.

For those of you who recognize our small town gem for what it is, I encourage you to buy popcorn and a fountain drink!! Because this is your best way to support and invest in an ever-changing experience; that if ever it goes will likely never comeback. Even if it did comeback it would have...
