This used to be my favorite theater, but my recent visit on National Popcorn Day was disappointing…read more I asked a simple question about the annual popcorn tub special, and the manager was unfriendly, gave a rude response, and made no effort to look into it. On top of that, during recent visits I've noticed the popcorn hasn't been as fresh as it used to be. Between the decline in quality and poor customer service, this experience was really off-putting. If this is the level of service being offered now, I'll be choosing Cinemark going forward, where the popcorn is better and the customer service is more welcoming.

I have noticed with…read morethe remodel, however, that the leather recliners are not as soft or seem to be real leather. The biggest disappointment this go around was ordering a large popcorn, which comes with one free refill. Popcorn always tastes great and I realize this is where they make their money but to be honest once you get through the first third, it seems like everything on the bottom was broken up pieces of popcorn like it's been rough house too much and has started a breakdown. I dumped the rest of this popcorn and then went and got another refill but if I'm gonna pay that much for popcorn, it probably should've been the best popcorn ever! lol!

There are places that are probably cheaper, but I appreciate the new music, the activities around Christmas and summer, and the clarity of their policies. If you want something small and super flexible, then go with a private teacher. For us, the location in Worthington, is perfect. I can get some grocery shopping done, and there's plenty of space to play in the mall with my younger son. The fact that my son consistently has a wide variety of new music, enjoys playing, and is making progress makes the price worth it.

For my 1100th review, I am going to write about my amazing experience at Level One Bar+ Arcade!…read more I promised my brother a surprise during our trip to Columbus, OH if he passed his insurance agents license. He passed, so I took him to Level One Bar+ Arcade. I did it to have some brother bonding time. Its been years since either one of us had stepped into an arcade and really spent hours playing in one. Some of our fondest memories together occurred while playing video games and in video arcades. Thus, it was wonderful to relive those moments together and create new memories at another video arcade. Really cool place, ambience definitely is a cool classical arcade that just happens to have a bar inside. Tons of games here! You can find all the classics, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, etc. Talk about memories... i remember playing Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat at arcades when I was in grade school. I got go relive memories when I played X-Men the Arcade Game, a game I beat at an arcade when I was in middle school. The only disappointment was with Rampage. I jumped for joy when I saw it! I loved playing as either George, Ralph, or Lizzie as gigantic monsters devouring the worlds population and destroying cities when i was younger! Alas! It was not operable! My years away from playing video games showed my rusty skills. I used to be a beast in games, i did alright but man have my skills deteriorated since college. Again, we played for hours, and had a great time together. We did not spend a lot of money, all non-pinball games are free. We also did play some pinball games like The Walking Dead, and You Only Live Twice. Level One Bar+ Arcade made our last night in Columbus, a wonderful night. I definitely recommend coming here!

I love this studio almost as much as I love the people there!…read more We've been having Pam dance with us at my work for onsight fitness classes for awhile. I loved her amazing attitude and her dance classes so much I had to have more! I started coming here to the studio about a month ago. First off - if you are thinking about trying the studio out, you can - unlimited classes - for a week FOR FREE. Rates are incredibly reasonable and they even have hip hop for kids! So, even though Pam lured me to the studio i've gotten totally hooked on all the other instructors classes! There are so many types to choose from and they are all amazing! I especially 'love' Core RX on Sunday morning. I mean, I totally want to die the whole time, praying for it to be over but once it is....it feels so good! I love the community feeling and support from everyone - and I think my butt is starting to look pretty good! What more can you ask for, right?!

At least that is what I thought back in 2009 when I first discovered this place. Now - at the time I was a novice to board gaming. Sure I played Monopoly or Battleship, but this was something more. Its not just a place for people to play games, is a community. The first time I walked into this place, I was nervous. Not sure what to expect or how many people would be there. I was very pleased and reassured. Not only was I greeted at the Door by a board member for the club, I was given the tour and immediately asked to join in the fun. I didn't know then... but this opened my world to a whole new form on entertainment. Being a gamer , as in board gaming, was something new to me. So I didn't know where to start or learn games. Here they have people who are more then happy to teach a game to you. They will let you play the game at your learning pace -despite being able to breeze through the game on memory of playing. There is food trucks that come to the meetings and it varies each time. There are snacks available for purchase to munch on through out the day. Lets talk about the games they have... with well over 750+ games in their library they have everything from kids games , to card games, to euro and war games. This is a place for all gamers. They even have a Designer's group where people create and play test games. Its great to be involved in such a community of gaming, and as years have past the gaming community has just grown. Your first visit is totally free, and if you return again and again its only $5.00 a visit. You can chose to join, and become a full member with CABS. Honestly the prices have changed several times over the years. I do know that the 2015 rate will be $80 for returning members and $49.00 for new members (not having been apart of CABS in the last 3 years) The Membership includes: Access to the ever growing Library (currently 750+ games) Free admittance to Buckeye Game Fest. (locally ran by CABS) 4 day gaming event Ability to 'check out' games from the library An All General Meeting in December (with holiday potluck) After Turkey Day - 36+ hour gaming event Discounts at local gaming stores 41+ meetings in a year (Friday/Saturday alternating usually) CABS has become a place where I love going. I have made several friends and been involved with chances to meet people creating games, publishing games, and playing games.

They offer a variety of…read moredance fitness classes (hip hop, barre, and cardio bellydance), and I saw yoga and strength training on the schedule as well. The schedule is easy to find on MindBody as well as posted in the studio. Studio fees are reasonable. The studio is clean and well lit and has all of the equipment you need for each class. There are 2 class spaces - a small yoga-ish studio off of the main room and a larger concrete floor studio in back with a small platform/stage and a roll up door for ventilation/extra light. Both have plenty of mirrors, light, and fans if needed. Alicia and her staff are super friendly and welcoming. There is always someone at the desk greeting students and getting you situated. Another cool note is that Alicia sponsors or partners with non-Columbus-based instructors who don't have studio space for extra offerings or events.

Overall, I like Crystal Ballroom a lot! The pricing is clear on their website, and the schedule is…read moreeasy to find. Group classes spend too much time changing partners. They make us change partners after dancing for just a couple measures. I do like that you know what to expect in the course when you sign up, and the pricing is very reasonable. The instructors and clientele also are super friendly at the dance parties. They really do a good job making sure everyone has the chance to get onto the dance floor. One problem I had with private lessons is that we had to share the ballroom with other lessons or couples practicing, so we also had to share the music. Every other song or so is something we're not even dancing. I think it would be easier to improve hearing a foxtrot as we dance a foxtrot. For the cost of a private lesson, I think we should be able to hear music that corresponds to what we're actually doing.
