See, I'm not crazy























Anyone who has been to Wichita for a weekend or even a day has probably heard of some of my favorite things, the Warren movie theaters. Hands down, it's the best place to see a movie I've ever been. The old Missouri theater in Columbia is the only place that comes close to holding a candle to the Warrens (but after seeing Pan's Labyrinth there on Friday, I was reminded why it doesn't).

The Warren was recently featured in Flaunt magazine in an article called "Cinemachines" reviewing the nation's best theaters. The chain occupied three of the five or six photos in the piece, and a couple hundred words. They know what's up:
The world leader, except for a limited number of super-premium theaters in Tokyo, isn't Muvico, either, although their cinemas are certainly lavish and service-rich. Nor is it any other major chain. The best new-construction theaters in terms of added amenities and quality appointments are in Wichita, Kansas. Yes, Wichita.

Bill Warren of Warren Theaters is a man burning with a mission. He wants to build the best cinemas in the world. And he's doing it.
And that's just the beginning of the part about Wichita. Heck yes. Now maybe everyone in Missouri won't think I'm crazy. If anyone wants the full text of the article, let me know. :)
