Portland's Living Room Theater

OK, picture this. The streetcar stops at the corner of 10th and Stark. You walk across the street, go into a small bar/cafe and buy your movie ticket for $5 (on Mondays and Tuesdays - other weekdays it's $7 and weekends, $10). Then you can order a drink, snack or lunch and either enjoy them in the cafe or the waitress will serve them to your seat inside the theater.

There you have a choice of sitting in a recliner or extra sized plush lounge chairs with tables for your food and drink. There are six small theaters, each seating about 50 people. Today I watched the movie "Water For Elephants". I enjoyed reading the book over a year ago but the movie far surpassed my expectations. Enjoying the movie while sipping on a draft red ale and munching on a snack plate made it a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
