Reply to Verizon 5G by c1rclez

Has anyone reached out to Verizon to see what's going on? We're paying for 5G service and so... are not getting what we paid for. I'll be calling in the AM, simply curious if someone has beat me to it?

Remember their "cans" film festival? You would bring in cans of food like corn and stuff and they'd give you a ticket for a movie. We didn't have much money growing up and I'll always remember my mom taking me and my brother there for a special day. Damn dude.

I can beat that. I saw most of the classic Bond movies at dollar movie marathons at the old Fox theater downtown. Was a treat to go to a play there this winter and see how it was fixed up. I saw empire strikes back at the Tower and once spent all night movie hopping at town and country on n. Kansas before it became the "star trek church" as we used to call it.

Back in the day there were 2 theaters just in the mall, wherenberg (wehrenberg...wehrenberg... ifkyk) and century 21. And then like you said, petite 3 and Fremont too. We had a ton of theaters

I’m with you on all those great theaters being gone. I remember seeing the Blues Brothers at the Fremont 3, and so many different episodes of Star Wars silliness at the Battlefield Mall. Sheesh.
Hey you’re missing out on the best option still left in town: the Moxie. I guess it may be still considered “new” because it’s probably only been around for what, 20 years or so? But it’s great. Two theaters, neither are too big, both are comfortable. With beer and wine (so what else do you need?). Interesting movie options that most of the other theaters don’t show.

Musician and songwriter Wayne Carson called Springfield home for a length of time.

Country musician Porter Wagner was from West Plains which is almost in the neighborhood.

I'd bet that a look through the history of Ozarks Jubilee on radio station KWTO would yield a lot of information on musicians from this area.
