Old Fashioned Movie Theatre

This evening I took a trek down to the Kennsington area of town. My destination was The Ken, the only single screen movie theatre left in San Diego. It was reminiscent of going to movies as a kid. One person selling tickes, two in the concession stand -- no stadium seating or other fancy add ons - just a big screen and sticky floors.

Before the movie started the manager of the theatre came out and welcomed everyone and told us the names of the people that were working in the theatre this evening. He told us the film we were about to watch was an important one and that he hoped we were moved by it and enjoyed the show! No advertisements or previews - just the film we came to see.

What a refreshing movie going experience!
