Paramount 7 Theatre — Local services in Indianola

I have gone to several movies at this theatre, but I am never going to drive there. I will go if someone else is doing the parking. I did not know that when a sign is posted telling you to parallel park that you should not park there. I also did not know about not parking by a yellow line and I have lived in numerous states. One time, when I was there, they announced that they needed to have someone move their car. That was not the case for me. The manager just called the police while I was in the movie. At least he asked them not to tow my van - only a ticket which I can afford to pay.

Love this local little cinema. When we moved to Indianola area, we found (even on a premiere night), we could decide to go to a show 10 minutes before the start and have plenty of time to get a ticket, grab some concession items and find a seat.

I wish they would have a "club" or concession "club" for frequent visitors, but will continue to visit regardless cause they are great!...
