Hey, at least they've got 2 new crud tables in the basement. I think this place has the best food to be found on base. The lunch buffets are $$$. Good quality and all for $8.95 for non-club members or $7.95 for members. I'm a reservist so club membership makes absolutely no sense. There's a nice bar with good service. The pit area makes a great entertaining space for OTS, SOS, ACSC, AWC and other unit events. It's actually quite amazing how many people actually fit in this area. The staff on hand all seemed very nice and courteous. What I also really love is the sense of history that this place has as you walk into the building and pass by the walls. Don't know what it is...but it just has some of that old world charm. Anyway, great place to dine for lunch. I'll be back!

I first went with my wife back in December 2024 when they had movies throughout the Christmas season. We are definitely excited to return this summer as tickets are $7 a piece right now! Not only do they show movies but there are several performance events that go on such as concerts, plays, and I am pretty sure I saw a youth theater camp start up this summer. Regardless, it is definitely worth the visit. I would check their Facebook for performance schedules. At first glance, the facility appears to be wheelchair accessible. There are wide walkways in the theater and accessible bathroom stalls in the men's bathroom at least.

We visited Troy University's Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, AL on Jan 7, 2026 as part of Road…read moreScholar's "The Civil Rights Movement - Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham" program. As the name indicates, this museum is entirely about the titular civil rights icon. Tickets were covered by our program. We spent less than an hour here, in part because we got two other sites to visit in our day's itinerary. Our tour guide informed us that photography was not allowed inside the exhibition rooms. (Judging by the content on this business listing, that didn't stop other visitors from taking photos.) In the first room, we saw a short film that summarizes the segregation in Montgomery prior to Parks' historic act. After that, we went another room and were standing in front of a bus modeled after the one that Parks boarded and refused to give up her seat. The bus's windows serves as screens for another short film that re-enacted the historic moment. The dialogue is boosted by surround sound all over the room so that visitors could feel what it was like at that moment. After that, we went into the third and final room of exhibits showing what happened after Parks' arrest and its impact on the Civil Rights Movement. I recalled life-size figures, a model of a 1950s car and dimmed lighting. (Many thanks to Lulu Wang and her article "Rosa Parks Museum: Take You Back to 1955, Montgomery, AL" in medium.com for helping with my recollections.) The museum is clearly focused on Rosa Parks the civil rights icon, but not Rosa Parks the person, family member and human being. To my recollection, there was little mention about her life before and after the bus boycott (and the larger Civil Rights Movement). Nor was there a mention of the asteroid named after her: 284996 Rosaparks. I learnt about that from a "Doctor Who" episode (series 11, episode 3, titled "Rosa"). I don't recall if the exhibits mention of Parks' prior encounter with the bus driver James Blake 12 years earlier. After paying her fare at the front entrance, she tried to enter through the back entrance. But Blake drove off without her. Some accounts claimed that she refused to board. It'd be nice to know what's the museum's take on that incident. Of the three Montgomery mini-sites about the Civil Rights movement - the other two being the Civil Rights Memorial Center and the Freedom Rides Museum - the Rosa Parks museum is the smallest in space and content, and the only one that does not allow photography. I was the least happy with it. It's certainly worth the visit if done in conjunction with the Civil Rights Memorial Center and the Freedom Rides Museum, both of which are within walking distance. In addition to that, go see the Rosa Parks statue at the Rosa Parks Bus Stop on Court Square, which is also within walking distance.
