The Riverview defies logic when it comes to modern movie houses. Your run-of-the-mill cineplex these days has 30 movies playing, about a $10 price tag on the ticket, double that if you want popcorn...

The Riverview Theater is a hidden gem. Cheap tickets, comfy seats, delicious popcorn, and a huge lobby that feels more like a retro lounge. They don't take credit cards, though, so bring cash.

I grew up in the 50's living three blocks from the Riverview and can't count the number of times I spent there. Everything around the Riverview has changed, but not the theater itself. Same marquee entry, same retro interior, best p'corn in town, and outstanding prices in town to boot. What more can an avid movie goer need? Comfortable seats? The Riverview has them. If you have visited the Riverview, make plans to do so soon. These landmarks may not last forever!
