I.C.E. COMMENT
ROAD TAX SEASONRoad Tax Season is coming. Time to start gathering documents (2018 road tax receipt, vehicle title, JCI, base inspection, liability insurance, valid license, etc.) and make sure everything is up to date. VRO will host two one-stop-shop sessions at the Fleet Theater on18-20 March and again on 3-5 April.
Comment: I find it sad that I cannot take my son to the movies on a Friday night at the Fleet Theater. I understand Benny Decker is open, but their times never work for me. There are few low-cost places on the weekends I can take my son and being denied the opportunity to see a movie on Friday and Saturday nights is disap-pointing.
Response: Thank you for your sub-mission to the Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) system. Children under ten years of age are not permit-ted in the Fleet Theater on Friday and Saturday nights because these times show films that generally contain content that is not suit-able for younger viewers. Benny Decker Theater, however, has four sepa-
rate show times for more family-friendly movies on Saturdays and Sundays at noon, 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and 8:30 p.m.
