It's a small theater and makes it feel like family owned, not sure if it is though. But either way it makes you feel welcomed without the pressure. Prices are very reasonable, $20 for 2 medium sodas, small popcorn, and 2 tickets. Even though the popcorn was free, the prices are perfect for a date night. The theater itself is small but I love it. Makes it feels like a small town knows everyone size. From the lobby to the bathrooms to overall cleanliness I'd alone give it 5. And the one movie they show is helpful in deciding times. Plus the seats are wide enough that everyone can seat comfortable, though a tip would be to be aware you will sink in them lol. The only very short downside is upstairs you'll get employees walking and it casts shadows. So if your sitting in the very back, be prepared to notice the annoying shadows. Unless your the special person that can ignore them, they can distract from the movie. Would I recommend? Absolutely hands down. I don't know if I can "covert" back to the larger theaters. More than happy about this place. You have to go at least once to get a true movie theater experience.

The first time we went to watch a movie the movie screen was very dim. We could bar see anything on…read morethe screen. The sound was too low. My husband went to notify the manager. When he asked the only two teenage staff at the concession counter to speak to the manager one of the teenagers said she was the manager. My husband explained the problem and she got upset with him stating no one else has complained before! She refused to go back and check, all she said she could do was hit a reset button. He came back and sat down, we waited another 15 minutes and nothing changed. So we both went out to let her know nothing happened. She instantly had attitude and said she hadn't pushed the button yet and said we were inpatient! Her voice started shaking and she started to yell at my husband! She even told me that he was acting like her dad and she felt sorry that I had to go home with him. I tried several times to calm her down but the more I tried the worst she got! We finally got our money back and left. We waited another month and tried a different movie hoping she no longer worked there. This time we were told that they were only seating people in the private room because there was only 2 other people that were there to watch the movie. We were okay with that until we went in there. The room was small, very dirty and the tables and chairs were sticky! The popcorn was old and the liquid butter machine was pure oil!! We immediately stopped eating the popcorn and went to the concession stand to let them know about it. They didn't care, said that that happens a lot. It's really sad that whoever owns this movie theater doesn't care about it or the community. We are all about supporting our local businesses but we will not be giving this place our money. We are surprised it's still open. Now we drive to Pueblo to watch a movie. .

The drive was about an hour and a half from Denver down Colorado 115, but because we all like to talk, the drive seemed to not take long at all. Penrose is a tiny town just 15 miles outside of Canon City, and apparently it is the apple capital of Colorado. In the distance of a mile we saw 4 orchards lined up along the dirt road, interspersed with barns and horse pastures. We passed by all the others to get to Third Street, and are so glad we did. First of all, their orchard is medium sized, but it is by no means over-picked. There was a bountiful crop of apples just waiting to be picked. And so many varieties! The honeycrisps had all been picked :( but there were plenty of gala, yellow and gold delicious, Mcintosh, and many more. They also give you those nice, round wooden tubs lined with a thick plastic bag to put your apples in. When you pay and go home, they simply take the plastic bag out of the tub. And their store, though small, sells preserves, syrups, soaps, and cider. I really wanted a bar of apple soap and the cookbook they publish that provides recipes for everything they grow - pumpkins, apples, and peaches. That way I know what to make with my bountiful produce! The owners are super-friendly and even invited us to come back with a picnic and sit in the orchard, even if we didn't buy anything! After all, next to eating fresh-off-the-tree apples, our favorite part of our visit was sitting in the shade and listening to the wind in the trees. A really, really great way to spend an afternoon, and I'm sure we'll be back. It was perfect for family bonding. I really can not say enough nice things about this place. My one word of advice would be to skip all the orchards you pass on the way and come straight here. The other orchard we went to was Ferrara's Happy Apples, which was way too commercialized, crowded, and over-picked. Choose Third Street Apples, instead. You won't be disappointed.
