SPOKANE, Wash. - Patrons of the Regal Cinemas-Spokane Valley 12, located here, used to endure harsh weather while waiting to buy a ticket. Those in line to purchase tickets had to enter the theatre unprotected from the elements on a concrete walkway that created a virtual wind tunnel in below freezing temperatures. Add blowing rain or snow and the conditions are almost unbearable.
To enhance customer comfort, the management of Regal Cinemas 12 constructed a 40-foot-long, semi-glass enclosure adjacent to the theatre entrance to serve as a windbreaker.
