My son and I go to the Shelton Cinema quite often. It has become our 'thing'. Usually, we hit a matinee on a weekday, and, for the most part, we get the whole place to ourselves. "Front Row Joes" we are with our bag of extra-buttery popcorn, favorite candies and cold beverages to wash it all down. Over the years the hometown charm of this theater has not diminished.
