And not a person it the stands knows who they are, or gave a damn.

Im sure most of the people in the stands don't know most of the players playing, but they still there. It doesnt matter if they don't know. I don't know who they are but who cares. They gave El Paso some shine and ate Chicos Tacos wrong. Now they will move on to the next city. The next big thing in El Paso doesn't have to be a building or business coming. It could be a movie being made or a couple social media celebs visiting El Paso. I'm glad I can explain to you how things work. If you or Orona and Kane need help just let me know??? 🤨🤨🤨🙄🙄🙄
 
What does a chef appearing on a cable show do for El Paso? Seems more of a personal opportunity for him to me.

Maybe start a “Notable El Paso things, but barely news” thread and put your junk there.

I didn't know you made the rules?? Why would I listen to someone who has been banned like 10 times already?? I can't even keep count on what number kanefan is?? Is it number 10?? 😂😂😂
 
The next big thing to be in El Paso for the day!


Arrested but blessed our streets with his presence. I wonder how many followers he has in insta?
That is huge. El Paso getting a ton of impressions throughout the news cycle. Just the kind of thing that should get Fili all excited about this big thing.

We go to Klyde Warren park in Dallas often even though we live in McKinney. It's a very nice park close to the Dallas Museum of Art, Perot Science Museum, and other attractions.

This park looks like it could be even nicer than Klyde Warren. El Paso, please don't fvck this up. Keep Max Grossman as far away from screwing this up as possible starting last year, please. This looks truly amazing.
 
This where nowins would bring his dates and take them to silver streak afterwards.

Damn, when my kids were little that was the place to see Pixar and Dreamworks movies on a budget.

Sticky floors, it was a crisp 18 degrees, and unlimited refills.

Haven’t been in years but definitely the end of the $1 movie experience.

It’s been showing first run movies there. Was an AMC theater. Not sure when they stopped doing the $2 movies.

You know you went to go see them alone. You dont have to lie.

If they started showing first run movies there it's no surprise that they're closing. The allure of the place was that you could take the family for a cheap day/night out by seeing a movie that had been out for a while. You didn't mind the poor quality of the theater due to the bargain ticket prices. But if you are going to pay first run movie prices to watch a new release, you're going to drive to the next exit down the freeway to Tinseltown.

It's too bad that they don't have any dollar movie theaters any more in El Paso. They don't have any here in San Antonio either. I guess that streaming likely did them in.

For sure. Things have changed. All the studios want their stuff on digital ASAP to prevent piracy, but it’s changed a lot of ways we view movies. For me, there’s no urgency to go to the movies anymore, as I can wait 6 months and watch the movie at home. You can even rent movies a few weeks after they release for like $20. Pretty good deal unless you’re viewing alone.

Certainly for those who prefer to watch movies at home the current speed at which movies appear on streaming is a great improvement over the way things used to be. I, however, really enjoy watching movies on the big screen. I typically rank movies into one of four categories: I want to watch it immediately in the theater; I would prefer to watch it in the theater, but there's no rush; I can wait to watch it; and I don't want to watch it at all. For movies in the 2nd category, or movies that I had already watched soon after release but loved and really wanted to see again, theaters like Montwood and Eastpoint were the perfect places to watch them. I'm sad that the era of discount movie theaters has come to an end.
