Starbucks, Ruby Tuesday's, An Italian restaurant. Even fast food and light shopping, Movie Towne has it all in a safe and fun environment. I saw another Movie Towne but came here to eat some Popeye's. Yes, I traveled to Trinidad and ate Popeye's. It was as good as home as it is a forbidden treat for me. Did not catch a movie but the theatre looked clean and modern. Plenty packed. Nice kiddie park next door.
