Yesterday Tami took the afternoon off and we ended up going to an incredibly early dinner and a movie at Town Square. The movie was “The Proposal” which I won’t review as it’s been out so long, but we both liked it. I will say something about Rave Theaters.

Rave Theaters, which I’d never heard of until Town Square opened, features about a zillion theaters under one roof (I think maybe it’s eighteen, really.) They’re upstairs, so it’s climb, escalate, or elevate to get to the lobby. (Or you could levitate if that’s your thing.) I can’t give a full review, because we were fresh out of dinner and didn’t get the popcorn. No movie theater can be good unless the popcorn is good, of course. The auditorium has seats wide enough for business class to Europe on an airplane. There’s a small table between two seats, with cupholders between the alternate two seats. Very cushy. The sound was good, not deafening, and if the popcorn is good, this has to rate as a good place to see a movie. ‘Course it’s clear down next to Fry’s, but what the heck, if it’s good . . .

After the movie we went to Luvit Frozen Custard on Oakey just east of Main. If you are from the East Coast and think that Dairy Queen sells custard, you’re wrong. Frozen Custard has a lot of egg yolks in it, is denser than ice cream, and must never get solid. It was invented for the St. Louis World’s Fair (the one Judy Garland sang about.) It’s better than ice cream, although some ice creams do aspire in custard’s direction. It’s a custard stand from the 1970s that’s still going strong. They were doing a brisk business on a Thursday evening, and no wonder. Drive on up any time for a wonderful treat that will show you just how wrong New Yorkers are about Dairy Queen and custard!
