Tonight we saw Cowboys and Aliens(the movie) at Fain Theater. A small town theater, it shows 1 movie 3 times a day and charges 5 bucks a person. We walked in and the lobby was tiny with a very small concessions stand. A rack of t-shirts lined one wall my favorite being "cowboy up or go sit in the truck." We got a Coke out of a machine and watched in delight as the visible mechanical arm slid up, grabbed our Coke and then dropped it in a chute to our hands. To get to our seats we went through deep red velveteen curtains that open directly to the theater and we walked down the aisle to our seats. No climbing stairs or walking up ramps. Ambient light shone during the movie so we were not totally in the dark. Everyone was glued to the action in the movie, no wailing kids or loud crackling of snacks. All in all it was a delight.
We also opened an account at the local bank, 1st National of Livingston. No other branches except in Livingston. Tasteful, western art hung on the walls and the decor inside was very modern but homey. The gal that helped us was referred to as a "personal banker." She spent 30-40 minutes with us walking us through the online banking site and taking care of all other matters. She was very friendly and we actually had a great time. Nothing near the experiences I've had with other banks. This bank celebrated its centennial in 2002. It has been in business since 1902.
We've lived in and visited small towns in the past and have never had the pleasure of true small town hospitality. Today was a good day.
