Then, we went toward the theatre for our movie and there were some seriously not-friendly people outside the door asking us for money (omg). After we got into our theatre, the air conditioning was off and we were the only two in the theatre (I know that Harold and Kumar isn't on the top of people's list, but it's funny!). We determined it was probably the oddest experience of our life, and don't plan to ever go back unless the movie we want to see isn't showing anywhere else in the metro (as it was then).
It was nice having the whole theatre to ourselves for a bit though, as we could have full on conversations without bothering people. I definitely would not prefer it that way, as the creepy factor was high.
Poor Crossroads. It's sad to see it decline so much, because I have great memories in there, but I think it's time to pull the plug. It's dying a slow death.

Wow. I remember when that movie theater opened in 1999 as a Regal, it was packed. It remained packed throughout the early '00s as well. I always thought it was a pretty nice theater, at least back in the day. Sounds like it may be downgraded to a dollar theater soon if its not closed completely if this trend keeps up.
