2001 played for 25 weeks and I wasn't allowed to see it because it depicted apes evolving into humans. A fact which my mother's religion denied, so I was denied.

The rounded appearance of the ticket booth is cute. Not certain why it looks that way, just lighting I guess. All lit up at night so you can see the interior. As a kid I recall looking in when our car passed by, and drooling over candy from the snack bar.

The front facade doesn't match reality. Somebody spent time to create this fake publicity picture. The Kachina was demolished soon after.
