Well, let me tell ya ’bout this place, this… uh… “the dome entertainment centre,” they call it. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it’s just a big buildin’, kinda round on top, like one of them upside-down bowls, ya know? Only bigger, much bigger. Heard tell it’s in some place called Hollywood. Never been there myself, too busy milkin’ cows and whatnot.
Now, what’s inside this dome thing? Well, that’s where it gets interestin’, I reckon. They got movies in there, lots of ’em. Big screens, they say, bigger than my barn door, that’s for sure. And you sit on these fancy chairs, all in a row, like you’re at church but with more popcorn. They even got some kinda seats that are higher up, so you can see over everyone’s heads. Folks call it “stadium seatin’,” sounds important, but it’s just chairs on a slant, if ya ask me.
And it ain’t just movies, no sirree. They got music there too, concerts and such. Folks singin’ and playin’ instruments, just like at the county fair, but maybe a bit louder. You can buy tickets to see ’em, just like you buy a ticket to ride the bus, only more expensive, I’d bet.
- Movies? They got ’em.
- Music? Yep, they got that too.
- Fancy seats? You betcha.
- Popcorn? Probably costs a pretty penny.
This dome place, it ain’t the only one, they say. There’s a few more scattered ’round the country, but this one in Hollywood, it’s special, or so they say. It’s old, been there a long time, like my grandma’s old cookin’ pot. And it’s got that dome shape, which is kinda neat, I guess. Makes it look different from all them other boxy buildin’s.
They also got somethin’ called “beer and wine” there. Now, I ain’t much of a drinker myself, a little dandelion wine now and then is all I need, but city folk, they like that stuff, I hear. So, you can watch your movie or listen to your music, and have a drink while you’re at it. Fancy, ain’t it?
I heard tell they do more than just shows there too. They got parties, or “events” as they call ’em. You can rent the place out, they say, for a weddin’ or a birthday party or whatever you fancy. They’ll even set up tables and chairs and serve you food and drinks. Sounds like a lot of fuss to me, but folks in the city, they like that kinda thing.
They built this big place right in the middle of town, coverin’ a whole block. And it ain’t just the dome, there are other movie places next to it, like sixteen of ‘em! Can you imagine? Sixteen places to watch movies all in one spot! Must be a lot of stories bein’ told in that there city block.
Somewhere else, way far away, on the other side of the country I think, they got another one of these dome places, only this one ain’t for movies or music. It’s for hittin’ golf balls, they say. Two stories tall, inside a dome, just whacking little white balls. City folk and their strange ways, I tell ya.
Someone even wrote a story ‘bout a dome, though it ain’t the same kinda dome, I reckon. This one comes down outta the sky and traps a whole town! Now that’s a story worth tellin’! Makes this Hollywood dome seem kinda ordinary, don’t it? And another place, far away, has a dome with a place to go bowling, like knockin’ down them pins. Always somethin’ new, I guess.
Anyway, that’s the gist of it, this “the dome entertainment centre.” A big, round buildin’ with movies, music, and fancy fixin’s. If you’re ever in Hollywood, maybe you can go see it for yourself. Me? I’ll stick to my porch swing and the crickets chirpin’. That’s entertainment enough for me.
