maverick four

the maverick four is the discount movie theatre in mankato. it is the last remnant of the mankato mall that was built in 1978. the building isn't empty, it is used by different local government agencies as office space. the theatre, however, is a reminder of the building's glory days.

i love the feel of this theatre. it only has four screens and each of them is in a very small theatre.






it is like stepping back in time. it reminds me of my childhood.

the seats are uncomfortable and don't recline, the floor is perpetually sticky, and the sound system is full of clicks and pops. however, it costs 3 bucks. that is it. three dollars.

you can't beat it. screw 3D. screw $9.75 movie tickets.

plus, most of the time you are by yourself in the theatre. today, myself and some other guy watched iron man 2. who cares if it came out 10 weeks ago, it was new to me.
