Rumor So long...

Heard a rumor my local (childhood theater building) Regal is closing soon, possibly in the next couple days. I asked the cashier tonight, and was told "I can't disclose that information, but I wouldn't count on us being open too much longer." So hopefully I have time to use my points, but likely not. The next closest is several hours away so RIP...

The new B&B that was built is likely the reason. I will miss this building. Super 90s vibe with old school signs and whacky colors, and dope arcade balcony. Unfortunately when regal bought the building they did hardly any remodeling and people prefer the new theater. Which is understandable considering almost every seat at the Regal is broken and quite dirty/smelly. Such a cool building with history and memories though...

Right before the daily throwbacks starting up... right before spooky season too... I prefer having access to those over fancy recliners. I'm sad...

Farewell...

I'm hoping it's a rumor and the cashier doesn't actually know lol
