"Seats are ok. Movie selection is ok. Watching the service crouch through the aisles and whisper to the people they're serving is amusing... But... we've gone three times and they have two strikes…" - John V

"this was a wonderful place to beat the extreme heat for a couple hours for very little money. Movies are "second-run." Seats were ok. I didn't try the concessions." - John V

"In town for a night, had a pizza craving, checked out all the yelp reviews and decided that this place sounded pretty good. We got a small margherita and some Garlic knots and Cinnamon knots (they…" - John V

"Tried to use a coupon/voucher here on a trip through town, but they said they closed at 11 on the phone, even though the website said 2am. Maybe next time?" - John V

"Got three of their deal pizzas (14" one-toppings - $7.99) delivered and was pleasantly surprised by the tastiness. Found ourselves unable to stop at a reasonable amount of pieces... We'll have to try…" - John V

Yes. Especially in my IT days, but occasionally, still, this is me. - John V

"This place has changed owners, though my personal memories are probably preventing me from giving it a complete fair review. It's not any worse, I don't think, but it is not the place I frequented as…" - John V

"tried to check in here, so I wouldn't forget to review it, but the location on the map is really wrong, so I couldn't. This is a diner. It is everything you expect from a diner. It is the old veteran…" - John V

"My previous experience with Corner Bakery was grabbing a snack on the way through Union Station, in downtown Chicago. We caught an early movie at the AMC (with the big Loews sign) in the same plaza…" - John V

"interesting menu options, I don't know how often they really change, but if every night features something like duck, duck eggs and rabbit, I'm impressed. We went with a party of about eight, so we…" - John V

"Chocolate is good, but expensive... Gelato is amazing and worth whatever they charge. Coffee is good, Hot chocolate gets my girlfriends seal of approval. What I really want to support here is there…" - John V

"The clear winner on this menu is the apple rings. Deep fried apple awesomeness. Do not miss them. I had the roost pork, which was decent, though a bit messy. My friends had the Catfish, I think, and…" - John V

"The soups are always good, and I've never been disappointed with the sandwiches, either. Timing is sort of crucial, especially if you happen to go on a day when they end up short-staffed. Line can get…" - John V

"All-ages venue. It's a hard business to keep afloat, and they've been open long enough that they must be doing something right. Most all-ages venues are dark and smoky and this one does not fall short…" - John V

"This store is good for entertainment value. The prices are nothing that you can't beat elsewhere. The large signs and vans that seem to serve no other purpose than to be mobile signs all over the…" - John V

"The chairlift up to the top is a fun little novelty. You really have to play the course to appreciate it. It was a stroke (haha, get it?) of genius to take this plot of land on the side of big hill…" - John V

"Wow. We were in the Chattanooga area on a little road-trip and playing tourists at Ruby Falls... decided the food there was too expensive, so we brought up Yelp on my phone and I started reading off…" - John V

"This is a gem. We didn't know exactly what to expect, but we were looking to eat and kill some time in Elgin. Based on the yelp reviews, we figured this would be a good bet. We happened to be there…" - John V

"We stayed here for one night, on the first night of a road trip. We thought that it'd be a fun way to start a trip. Mistake one: we tried to be cheap. We parked and tried to find our own way in…" - John V

"Great coffee, simple decor, couches and fireplace, pleasant staff... I sat at a table that did not support leaning on the corner, almost spilled my coffee, but that and the slightly high prices are my…" - John V

Love it when a friend I went to high school with gets quoted and sounds all important. - John V

"We had a large group here for a birthday gathering a while ago and they were very accommodating. Most of us got breakfast foods and were very happy with our meals. My girlfriend and I went back for…" - John V

"It's your basic alley. Music is a little loud... clientelle on our Tuesday night visit was 90% teenagers... but none of them were obnoxious. There's food. One of our party had a Burger and didn't…" - John V

"Wow. The free popcorn and Valet parking does help offset the high cost of the VIP tickets, but those big comfy seats, all by themselves, might be worth it. They might have reclined a little bit more,…" - John V

funny how I've had addresses at all of these over the years, and I think, in skill-level order (if you count @geocities as @yahoo, even though they didn't own them, yet). I definitely didn't fit the descriptions when I was using these as my primary addresses... times change, though. - John V

this is the blog about that walking tour that starts today - John V

heard of these... but the look of bliss on this guy's face makes me really want one. - John V

"We will be heading back there, soon, hopefully. We went for a Valentine's Day breakfast. So this was a Sunday morning around 9:30 and it was crowded, which was to be expected. We still only had to…" - John V

I hate selective desturation effect in photography, but I love these images, because it's real." - John V

"We try to hit a Burrito Beach every time we're downtown. My girlfriend loves it and we usually bring one home for her Dad. We hit this location for dinner the other night and were not disappointed.…" - John V
