Then the Railroad Town gives depth to that experience, with relocated historic buildings staffed with living history. Considering the size of the town and daily operations, it makes sense that every building can't always be staffed -- and if they were, it'd sure take a long time to get through. The main exhibit building itself is a bit ridiculously grand: why is it surrounded by a moat and have fountains in the middle? That design would make more sense for an art museum maybe.

Still the best (and now only) theater in town but uncomfortable seats keep it from perfection. With…read morean Art Deco style that is immediately eye-catching, a quality screen, loud sound system, and great pricing, this is a great single-screen theater that's only open on weekends. It's also the only theater in town at the time of this update. The only downside is the seating. Despite being updated, they are not modern, reclining plush seats. I get why this was done, so as to not clash with the retro vibe, but the nearby Rivoli theater in Hastings updated to more modern seating despite being old-school as well, and its charm and vibe remained intact so I do wish the same would've been done here because the seats can get very uncomfortable after a while. Worse, if a showing is particularly busy, you'll be so close to someone that you may as well be sitting on their lap due to how close the seats are to each other. Skinny legends need not worry, but RIP anyone who is tall, broad, or even a little plus-sized because you will be shoulder to shoulder. Still, despite the shortcomings of its seating, this theater is still excellent. Tickets are inexpensive at $5 a pop and concessions are also very affordable. It's definitely great place to catch a movie, just keep in mind it may be a little uncomfortable. Oh, and also a little annoying if there are any rowdy kids around.

Life is transient and impermanent. "Everything passes like the flowering waters of a steep…read morewaterfall." This is the only existing downtown movie theater, dating from pre-WWII. The other theater which continued to the 1980's, The Capitol, was built as a Vaudeville theater and had a groovy 1920's balcony. It is now a parking lot, and I suspect it will remain in that state. Every city in America has the same sob story. The Grand, however, survived. It even has its share of first-run movies, and the local volunteer network who works on its upkeep likes to do nice things like replace and repair the art-deco lights and generally make it a decent place to go see a show (including the occasional live music performance).

When I first pulled up I was very impressed of the venue. Reason for 5 Stars * Lots of parking spaces for guest * Venue for the wedding ceremony had a beautiful set up * They had a nice size room for the bride and brides maids (the groom's room was a little smaller but that's normal) * Beautiful areas to take pictures * Very roomy The wedding reception wasn't held here but from the looks of it, it would be a great place to hold your reception.

Much different experience this year. Seriously…read moreunderstaffed on Fridays. Had to go into the concession building to pay for admission which took 15 minutes alone and we were only third in line. Bees were very thick around sitting areas to eat. Some Kids were very uncomfortable and ate while roaming. The only offer part of the menu on Friday. So hot dogs and meat nachos it is, burgers and pulled pork are only on Saturday and Sunday. If you're only open three days a week you should offer the whole menu. They offer s'mores packs to roast your own marshmallow. Not enough people to run train rides, hay rides, concessions, and admission. Idk if they weren't expecting so many groups, seeing school buses and multiple school vans upon arrival will make you want to leave any place and come back later. Very busy place. Kids enjoyed the corn maze. Lots of stalks knocked over by rude individuals making some pathways difficult with a stroller But fun regardless.

Let me first start off by saying that I'm usually the kind of guy who despises movie theaters…read morebecause of all the price gouging but that was not the case with the 12th Street Cinema. The 12th Street Cinema only plays movies once an evening on Friday and Saturday, with a matinée and evening viewing on Sunday so tickets usually sell out fast. I was amazed when we walked in the door and it only cost $10 total for my family of 4. That is unheard of with movie theaters today! We then walk to the concession stand where the highest price item was $2 for large popcorn and large pop. I'm pretty sure that most of the workers there are high school kids who volunteer their time for free which is how they keep their prices so low. The entire experience was great from start to finish from the friendly staff, affordable prices and clean theater. My only regret is that I've lived in this town for 3 years and am just now visiting the 12th Street Cinema. I can't wait until our next visit.
