I managed to locate a crushed velvet painting here. So this place gets a thumbs up in my book. They are not trying to be overly hip, but they aren't run down. Its clean, organized, and decent. Nice place.

I never thought I would find such a fresh, clean, and awesome subway inside of a gas station. Most Subways that are attached to gas station are disgusting and I would never even look twice at them. However, after going in there one morning on the way to work I noticed how clean and sparkling this Subway is, and now I am slowly becoming a regular.

Nice stuff, any place that sells Garbage Pale Kids cards AND Married with Children trading cards is ok with me. They have some really original t-shirt designs.

Good place to find some unique stuff.

The Riv (is less than) The Vic (is less than) The Aragon Ballroom

Just saw Dinosaur Jr. here and I was very impressed with the whole set-up.  You can get nice and close to the stage and the sound system is superb. There isn't a bad seat in the house and the whole operation is great.

You know, I am not impressed. Yeah, the fries and coleslaw thing is novel but it makes for a cop out on the meat. You really get screwed on the meat because they load you up on ridiculous amounts of breaded products in your sandwich.

The flavor is great but it is overwhelmingly carbohydrate and low protein.

The service, however, is excellent.

Wow, just wow.

All excited like a child from finally getting that offer letter I came here to send the new company my paperwork.

This place could suck the fun out of anything. The mouthbreathing employees are about as useless as they come and dumber than a box of rocks.

To begin, I came in here and there were 4 employees in the place. A lady in the office surfing the internet, a mouthbreathing moron on a pc ignoring customers, a lady acting self-important, and the new guy who is confused by just about anything.

Needless to say I had to wait to be helped for 10 minutes even though there were only two people in the store. Why?! Because only the new guy who couldn't get anything right was helping customers. The others were busy avoiding work and trying to look busy.

NEVER, EVER, EVER coming back

I've been coming to this Stadium since it opened. The only reason I find it necessary to write a review now is because of the new improvements. The Madhouse on Madison signs, the new screens, the bar like atmospher in the SRO - all of these are A+ improvements.

As far as Subways go:

- Clean
- Skimpy on the ingredients
- Good service
- Ingredients and bread do not seem as fresh as the other subways in the area.

This place is still pricing itself as a premier movie theatre. It has not updated itself since it opened over a decade ago so some of its infrastructure is becoming less and less appealing.

That being said, they have some pretty good positives. Parking is a breeze since they have a stadium sized parking lot, they have movable armrests which can allow you to hog up more than one seat. It doesnt have any horrific smell, and its got clean bathrooms.

Overall, not a bad place to see a movie.

Smash-cut to 1992, this place was top of the line and high tech. Lets go ahead inform the reader... it has not had one update since 1992. The graphics are performed on windows NT, and the dingy environment screams seedy bowling alley.

In summary, its a decent place to get a few cheap rounds of bowling in while getting an eyeful of the locals.
