El Cortez Theater

I sure wish they open back up.

Still closed. And, now for sale. Good luck re-opening.

We went to see Midway. I heard it was really cold in there so I wore thermals under my jeans, snow boots, gloves, 2 sweaters, a coat and brought a blanket. Not cold at all!! It was charming!! I've always thought the outside was really cool - so old school! Now I know how neat the experience is inside!! We'll be back!!

If you're in T or C, it's your only option. That's not a knock on this place. It's super awesome to watch a movie in. They only show one movie at a time but let's not dwell on that. It's historic and the atmosphere just blew me away. The (only) showing room looks like an old play theater and I just can't express how much I loved that. I spent the 10 minutes before the movie just thoroughly enjoying my surroundings. When the movie starts - no complaints about picture or sound. Only forewarning: Cash only, but there is a debt-free atm across the street.

The movies are first run and they must be using digital equipment. The building itself is pretty plain, not art deco or anything unusual. The tickets and snacks are very reasonably priced.
