I finished "in the points" this time! It's held in the hall that you get to through the small bar. You get to the bar through a door with the Canteen sign above it off the parking lot. It's a very low-key place, with some VFW memorabilia. As a non-member, I signed in by the door. The decor is old and homey. There's around a dozen seats at the small bar, but i dont recall if there were any tables. There are some kind of lottery or scratch-off ticket machines, and a tv. The bartender keeps things moving, and there's a simple menu, hot dogs, pizza, cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets and fingers, a philly cheese steak, fries, and more. The burger was hot and juicy, and i think it may have been microwaved. Tasted fine. The fries were pretty good and piping hot. The people all seemed friendly and relaxed. If your at all cool, you wont find much for you here, but if you're just a regular person, this seems like a nice place for a quiet drink and some regular food.

Although the primary focus of the center is to assist disabled veterans with finding career opportunities in the Washington DC area, many of their workshops and events are open to the local veteran community and are held primarily during weekday daytime hours. They also run the Washington DC Kaufman FastTrac class for new and aspiring military veteran entrepreneurs. I came here for the FastTrac program, which I'd highly recommend to anyVET who's contemplating owning and operating their own business. You do have to sign in at the front desk of the building, but sometimes the concierge is inconsistent so I'm not sure if it's a building thing or what - either way be sure to check in with the front desk. There are other nonprofits that inhabit the building but I'm not sure about their mission/focus. At the veterans center on the 2nd floor there's restrooms, two classrooms and a mini-lounge area with materials about other veterans-centric programs/events occurring in the area. They're not open on the weekends but I think that's because the building itself isn't open then.

Serve Our Willing Warriors / Warrior Retreat at Bull Run

The vision for the Bull Run Warrior Retreat is to provide a place for wounded warriors to spend a weekend or a couple of weeks with their families in a healing, therapeutic environment. http://www.willingwarriors.org/aboutbullrunwarriorretreat The Retreat currently consists of a 11,000 square foot home situated on 44 acres in the historic and picturesque Virginia countryside in Prince William County. Warriors and their families will be invited to spend time at the retreat. The retreat property sits at the edge of the beautiful Bull Run Mountain Conservancy and Virginia's renown Hunt Country. Work is currently underway to complete renovations on the first house. Plans include expanding the capacity to serve wounded warriors by adding a couple of more houses. You can see the planned stages of the project here: http://www.willingwarriors.org/plans The Bull Run Warrior Retreat is in need of support to continue moving forward. It's an amazing project. I toured the site today. I am supporting their efforts and am actively working to educate others about the retreat and garner support.

Please Note: This review is based ONLY on ONE speed-dating event. However, I wanted to provide my…read morepersonal feedback for anyone who may be considering trying one such event. I went after finding a Living Social deal, was highly skeptical, had read mixed reviews. however, my experience was quite positive. The location was nice, the event was extremely well-organized, and I thought it was a good deal after the coupon. Who shows up at these things is a crapshoot, but fortunately, my event was just about even between men and women and I think I met about a dozen men. Looks like I am going to have at least one date as a result. After the event , you get an email within two days (I got it less than 24 hours later) allowing you to make a mini-profile, select those you were interested in and see "mutual matches" and exchange emails through that platform with anyone from the event. Again, I find the whole thing very well organized and I had a good time. My only complaint, like others, is that the event DOES start about 30 minutes after it says (at 7:30) so people who arrive on time or a little "late" end up awkwardly sitting around the bar not sure what to do. Fortunately, I struck up an interesting convo with one of the other ladies attending and enjoyed that. However, I suggest arriving at 7:20 to check in, get a quick drink, and jump ride into the dating!

The theater wasn't overcrowded, the staff was friendly, and everything was clean and welcoming. I ordered the "Shame on Brie" sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious--honestly much better than I expected from a movie theater. My son had the BBQ chicken flatbread and he really enjoyed it too. The food was fresh, flavorful, and definitely a step above typical theater fare. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Between the affordable Wednesday specials, great food, and relaxed atmosphere, I would definitely recommend Warehouse Cinemas in Frederick and will absolutely be back!

Huge upgrade from your typical theater experience. They also go beyond just movies. There's a full bar, real food (not just popcorn), and everything I've tried has been good -- most recently the BBQ chicken pizza. They also do themed drinks for new releases, which is such a fun touch. I love that they offer $7 Tuesdays (which do sell out fast) and regularly host events. I recently went to their Trailer Fest, and it was a great experience -- tons of previews, food samples, giveaways, and just an overall fun vibe. They also show throwback movies and have a rewards program, so there's always something going on beyond just current releases. Every time I bring someone here, they end up loving it too. It's clean, well-run, and just a really enjoyable movie experience all around.

It just is so cute and quaint and pops out in the Luray downtown skyline. My bf and I have been going here for years. It was so sad when the owner passed, it closed for a while and the town was simply not the same. Since it's reopened, we have continued to support! We saw the woman king here this weekend- the theater is rarely full but just gives us a whole showing to ourselves and maybe some stragglers. The decor is out dated but it just has an ambiance I can't describe. I love it here. Unsure who owns it now, if it stayed in the family? But regardless the experience is unbeatable. You MUST experience it, at least once. The popcorn isn't the best- in fact it's quite salty. But it combines with my coke so well!!! The vast options for snacks is unbeatable- where else can you get a toblerone bar, trolli sour worms, coke, and a popcorn!!?! Some movies I noticed are a little delayed in coming out here too- look people, it's no AMC so don't expect that!!! I notice they are doing monthly free showings for the community too!! Come support and watch every movie they show, I know I will!

That said, it's a good theater. I enjoyed my experience. It's not going to be the best theater you've ever seen in terms of the movie quality; I don't think, for example, they have a 3D theater. But it's really good, especially for the price. The screens are good quality; the lighting and atmosphere of the place is pretty fly; the seats are really comfortable. I sat in one of their two big theaters; it had reclines, a small table area for food, cupholders, and the sound quality was superb. The signage inside is good. One note: screens 1 and 2 are right beside the bathroom. Screens 3-8 are on the other side of the building, so if you have a show in one of those theaters, it'll be a walk if you need to use the restroom. Their popcorn was good; they have butter dispensers by the Coke fountains. The Coke fountains are fountains, so refills are free. Not sure about popcorn. They do have available booze, both beer on draft and some other options (see photos). Staff were helpful, theater was clean, experience was good. It didn't strike me as the best theater experience I've ever had, but I'd go again. Very pleasant experience, especially given the location.

My interest was greatly piqued in seeing a show here because it's a thrust stage experience, which is rare in our area. As a community theatre director myself I wanted to see their space and how they staged the show. I want to begin doing something similar. This organization has been around nearly a century and they have a beautifully renovated space in an old train depot. They also clearly have an army of volunteers who make these shows happen. We had front row seats, putting us face-to-face with the actors, which I loved. The performance was well staged and well acted. It was a great night of both entertainment and research.
