 RR ConductorHappy 40th AmtrakPremium join:2002-04-02 Redwood Valley, CA kudos:1 | I hear ya, they can be a pain I live in a a pretty rural area here in Nortwestern California, Mendocino County, it's 3500 square miles with only 86,000 residents. We have a theater in Ukiah, one in Fort Bragg on the coast and one in Willits.
I can totally relate to buying candy and stuff and bringing it in, during the winter we do that, though during the summer when it's hot it's harder to do lol
OT Are you in the Coast Guard? I'm over near the Coast Guard Station in Fort Bragg somewhat often, we have a station in Ukiah as well (air). -- »www.gorail.org See MAJOR freight&passenger action@ the Galesburg, IL RailCam! »205.245.189.161:1100/ My soon to be employer,as an Asst.Conductor- »www.amtrak.com »www.modocrailroadacademy.com -Grad,Class of 2-07,woohoo! |

 tc1uscg join:2005-03-09 Saint Clair Shores, MI 1 edit | Retired after 20 a few years ago. Lived in Petaluma (Two Rock Station). Never made it too far up north but went as far as where 101 went from 4 lanes to 2.. Was just out for a drive. We loved it out there (the 4.5 years we lived there).
BOT: When we lived in Petaluma, we always went to Santa Rosa. The nice thing about this area is there are lots of theaters in/near strip malls. Not too many strip malls around here that doesn't have a dollar store. Besides, the kids love to make it into a big ordeal to visit the dollar store, load up on sweets/pop and sneak it into the show . AMC just purchased a chain of theaters from Star theaters around here so they pretty much have the largest layout of places to go. Ticket prices didn't change so we normally go when it's cheaper or we have a free coupon. Hey, I got 5 in my party so I rather go out to eat and spend the same amount for a good meal then go to the movies. |
