I love going to the movies. I especially enjoy the Krikorian Metroplex 15 in Vista. It’s convenient and clean, and the people who work there have always been cordial to me and my family. What’s more, the chairs are very cushy, comfortable and tall, and spaced so that you can easily see over the people […]

Although I’ve written about a few of these before, there are definitely some new explorations […]
