Forever Plaid

The New Theatre Restaurant has a sleek new look, a blend of art deco and futuristic elements that represents a top-to-bottom redesign of the theater, lobby, restrooms and serving areas.

Welcome 2015

The boys had an early midnight to welcome 2015. We found a count down from another country on the computer and let them do their poppers. It was fun watching them and then we sent them off to bed.
