    I love this place. As a kid I would go here for small school field trips sponsored by this place. I…read morewent to Norwood elementary. The best sentence I would see on the chalk board was, Joyo trip at 10am. The service was wonderful and it had nice and comfy seats.

    The 4 stars are partially because I like old theaters, this is Lincoln's only independent theater,…read moreand the owner's just a really sweet guy. The long-awaited bathroom renovations were complete when I last visited in July 2009. It's nice, though I regret the space it took up in the main theater. Renovations are on-going - the owner works a second job to support the theater. Second run theater and more - they bring in magic shows, host birthday parties, and will do private showings of films (independent, special-interest such as Indian, etc.) . During football season they show the games on the big screen (for free!) and sell concessions. They do cheap matinees of kiddie films in the summer, and in October the owner brings back Rocky Horror. Nice marquee, big screen, big venue (cavernous - seats 300, less the couple of seats removed to make space for the expanded bathrooms). The owner is a sweet guy who was very good to us when we ran a Rocky Horror cast here - we still come back and visit occasionally. It's the sort of place where if you're a regular they learn your name.

    This marker is located on the campus in excellent condition. I had no idea that General John J…read more Pershing (1860-1948) had academic experience as well as his well-known military experience. He fought in the Apache Wars, the Sioux Wars, the Battle of San Juan Hill, the Moro Rebellion, the Pancho Villa Expedition and of course led the American forces during World War I, 1917-1918. The marker reads, "General John J. Pershing, commander of the American Expeditionary Forces to Europe in World War I, was Professor of Military Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln between September 1891 and June 1895. Upon his arrival in Lincoln, which was to become his family's home, Pershing found the morale of the Reserve Officers Training Corps at low ebb. To infuse life into the corps, Pershing built an elite drill team which eventually became known as the Society of Pershing Rifles. The organization served its purpose well, and from 1900-1911 it carried prestige not only in military circles but in the social life of the University as well. Many of its young officer-graduates were on active duty in the Spanish-American War and in World War I. After Pershing was transferred to another post, interest in the Rifles waned and in 1917 it was disbanded. Interest returned in the 1920s, and in 1925 a chapter was installed at Ohio State University. Today Pershing Rifle Societies are found in over 100 universities. Pershing was elected to the Nebraska Hall of Fame in 1964, and his bust placed in the Nebraska State Capitol in 1965." [Review 11388 overall, 1165 of 2019.]
