New movie theatre

[StraightUpLogic]

All this fight for a new theater and now people want to keep the old one?

Dear heavens

The two screens on the south side of the old PenMar were built in an old bowling alley. Since the new theatre has almost twice the screens as the old one we should take this opportunity to address the bowling lane shortage.

^^^^ the old bowling alley burnt. And was next door

[-fluffy-]

As I remember it the bowling alley was gutted by fire but the building survived. Not that it makes a whole pile of difference, bringing back the bowling alley is about as logical as trying to compete with seven brand new screens in an out of date and extremely tired old PenMar.

I agree penticton needs a new bowling alley downtown with owners that give a crap. I miss ok bowl.

Went to the theater this week for the first time, awesome experience. No more going to Westbank or Kelowna to catch a flick anymore. I'll have to go bowling I guess this week to comment on the later parts of this post, but all in all if you haven't been to the theater yet, you're definately missing out.

The PRC are laughing at us for being ignorant..the financial backers of this theatre are Chinese; The Riady's/Lippo Group

follow the money.. :bump:

So what LightShine ... what do you propose that we do? Should we take down the theatre? You are a broken record ... popping up with these scary little inuendos about there being Chinese money backing the new theatre. What else do you have in your bag of tricks besides fear mongering? What do you propose that we do about the Chinese investment in our community?

How is Penticton's new theatre?
Does it seem to be well supported by the locals, well attended?

We went as a family this past weekend to see the new James Bond movie. Paid $40 (incl. tax)for 2 adults, 1 youth and 1 child.
We loved the idea you can purchase your tickets and pick seats beforehand. The theatre was spacious and seats were very comfortable. We found the parking lot is small, however, it wasn't a problem for us as we just parked on the street.
It made for a special night out for us.
2 thumbs up from this Penticton family.

Sounds excellent, and good value.
