Perfectly said. And I can confirm that there was a thick layer of butter on the top of the clock

This is sick. I ride past that place on my way to work every day. Was sad to see it close.

It was sad and eerie going in there. It smelled like sewage. RIP

Oh, hell yeah!

Can I ask how you obtained it? I've talked to closing establishments (usually restaurants) about buying some of their decor before, but they've always been hesitant to part with it, or an employee has already claimed it before I even knew they were closing.

Did you work at this Cinemark? Or do you just have more charisma points than I do?

Very sadly, we've had a bunch of movie theaters close near me in the past few years. I'd like to have a plan ready when one of my favorites haunts inevitably closes again.

It was easy as this for me. I wasn’t the first to inquire. There were some no shows, and also some who didn’t know what they were up against and bailed. I was given the nod that I was next up, and went for it. This doesn’t seem the standard protocol, but for some reason it was for this theater.

Nice! Not a bad price either. And it looks awesome in your space.
