It was the closest place to Sacramento I could find to go see it. And like I
said, it was worth the 530 mile drive to Tijuana to see it.

These were produced in Latin America, and were fully legal to view in
Mexico. So they were NOT illegal, in Mexico. There are some producers in
Cuba that have churned out a few unofficial films, and that can be seen at
theaters in Mexico. Becuase of the embargo on Cuba, they cannot be shown in
the USA, but it is fully legal to go and see them in Mexico.

One production company in Cuba even made a couple of unofficial sequels to
Disney's "The Little Mermaid", or "La Sirenita" in Spanish. I saw those at
the Cinemex Zona Rio, and it was well worth the 530 mile drive down there
and see them.

The ONLY thing that makes them illegal, right now, to show in the USA, is
the embargo on Cuba.

The Coaster, though, stops at one of the San Diego Trolley stations, but to
get the Coaster, you would have to to the train station in Anaheim, and
since you don't own a car, that would mean an expensive cab ride for you, as
you would have no other way to get to the train station in Anaheim.

> Bullshit.

I, Tonya did not play in theatres here in California. The ONLY place I could
go see it was at the Cinemex Zona Rio, 530 miles away from my home in
Sacramento.

When driving down there, I would drive all night, from Sacramento, on I-5. I
would make sure to leave by 1AM, as I wanted to get through Stockton before
the freeway got packed with people driving to jobs in the Bay Area, and
bumper to bumper traffic at 4AM in Stockton.

When driving to there, or to Disneyland, I made sure to leave early enough
to get through Stockton before the 4AM morning rush of people driving to
jobs in the Bay Area.

Well I can say that it was worth the 530 mile drive to Tijuana to see it.
The Cinemex is exactly 530 miles from my home in Sacramento, and easily
reached less than 10 minutes after crossing the border, just get in the
lanes for Paseo De Los Heroes, and it is on the Pavillion shopping mall
there.

There is also on restaurant chain that no longer operates in the USA, but
does have an location the Pavillion mall there is Applebee's. The all you
can eat ribs they had there at the time were a bargain, at around US$10 at
the time. There used to be Applebees restaurant in Sacramento, but not any
more.

McDonald's restaurants in Mexico have menu items no longer available in the
USA, incluiding the Angus burger, McWrap, McRib, and Chicken McNuggets (I
used to LOVE those as a kid).
