A great classic movie going environment.
After putting off going here for many years, I gave it a shot, and was very pleasantly surprised. The idea of a theater for independent film is a dying one, but this place is a true hidden gem.

Since the letters are not made anymore Kimball uses numbers for letters they no longer have like 3 for...
Read moreI just left the theatre after waiting 45 minutes for the movie to start. There was some sort of glitch, and we were ultimately sent away with refunds or passes. The manager could not have been more apologetic or kind. He came out with frequent updates and thanked us for our patience. I will return tomorrow to try again. While I appreciate the pass, it doesn't compensate us for the disappointment, loss of time and parking fees. Perhaps those who present their passes could be offered a small popcorn or soda? Those items have a tremendous markup, and a significant amount of goodwill could be obtained for a very small cost for...
