North Town, Town & Country, Tower Theater (now Alice 95.5 radio station in the Plaza Shopping Center)...

The Battlefield Mall used to have 2 theaters... there was the main Battlefield Mall theater in the food court, and then there was Century 21, which was on the Glenstone-facing side of the mall, where Ethan Allen is now. Both Century 21 and Tower Theater each only had 1 screen.

Yep. I'm old enough to remember when we did that at Petite 3 Theater (now Pep Boys) and Fremont Theaters (now Play It Again Sports) directly across the street from it on on E. Battlefield. We paid $1 per movie, and a friend and I would usually go see 2 of them back-to-back. I remember watching Naked Gun 33 1/3 and Backdraft in the same night at Petite.

I worked there in a place called KBC, one of the many underground buildings down there. Literally just means “Kraft Bulk Cheese”, but it’s not actually owned by Kraft. I worked there for 6 months and it was a stupid job. The place was kinda cool to drive around in for a minute. It’s huge. But it’s full of semis and exhaust.

I'm a sucker. I use Mister Car Wash, their $19.99/mo package. Unlimited car washes. Granted, I drive a shitload for work - upwards of 700-1000 miles per week, so it's kind of necessary for me.
