I was enticed by 25% off webcams... I was on my way to the register when I had second thoughts and decided to look up the camera on my Blackberry. Turns out that even after 25% off, the camera was STILL $20 more than what I could by from Amazon.com. Then I got curious and noticed a price tag on top of a price tag. The visible tag... $99.99 The tag underneath? $79.99!!

Are they marking things up just to make it seem like a big deal to get 25% off?!?!

I saw many movies there too during my college days. I believe the place was called Capitol Cinemas 4. I thought they always showed Rocky Horror at the Varsity where Chubby's: Two Phat Nightclubs in One is located now? However I maybe wrong about that since every time I went to see Rocky Horror, things were always a little fuzzy.

Church in an active movie theatre? I'd be hungry the whole time b/c of the smell of buttered popcorn and then there's that problem of getting gum and sticky soda all over your Sunday shoes.

Yep...Capitol Cinemas if memory serves. I remember seeing the original Star Wars there when it was first released. They used to run Rocky Horror at midnight every Saturday. There was a big crew that never missed it (not me).

I hate seeing this big box empty.... but knowing tallys record of great re use...... I think several people are looking at the property... Perhaps they can build up and enhance visibility.
