“I was walking by Millie and Al’s the other day, shedding a tear as I always do when I walk by, and saw that there was some movement and construction inside and out. Did you ever find out what is taking its place?”

Beth writes:

“We walked by and it’s under construction in AdMo. We asked and the construction workers said it would be a Korean place. Can’t wait!”

Ed. Note: Back in July we learned that Bom Korean-style Chicken had posted a liquor license placard here. Updates as construction progresses.

Next Tuesday (the 26th) we will be showing Step Brothers, followed by Point Break on Oct 3rd. For the rest of October, we will be doing Tuesday night horror double features in the lead up to Halloween: flicks like From Dusk Till Dawn, Suspiria, Jason Takes Manhattan, etc.”
