| - When I try to tell the kids how things used to be "back in the day", they usually just roll their eyes and look at me like I am insane, because naturally nothing really existed more than a few years ago, and theaters have always had stadium seating and awesome sound systems (not to mention dozens of screens). Thankfully there is the Manor.
This "old school" theater is a remnant of what movie-going used to be like. Sure, it makes me feel old, but it is what we used to have. There were no multi-plexes back then. Well, I guess perhaps there were, but only if you considered a multi-plex a couple of screens.
Now the old girl is relegated to "indie" status, but that is not a bad thing. The old chairs are not especially comfortable when you compare them to the high backs of the more modern competitors. If you should get there early or stay to the end of the movie, the spotlight from the rear of the theater will blind you, compared to the soft, ambient light you will find in more modern setups.
Definitely a worthwhile addition to the city, however. Check it out if you get the chance.
