I don't think so...
Last night I went to a movie at the Wynnsong 16 Carmike theater in Knoxville. This isn't the first time I've been there - fortunately, since we were running a bit late and got there after the commercials had started. I say fortunately because ... well, they aren't where they say they are. The first time we went there we were too late to see the movie by the time we found them...
All of their info claims that their address is 200 North Peters Road. It isn't. Check the map below - the pin is at 200 N Peters. That big gray building with the yellow arrow pointing at it? That's the Wynnsong. Their road doesn't even have a name. Moreover, from N Peters you can't see them: there's a Lowe's in the way (the big black building). Nor is there even a sign on N Peters telling you where to turn. In fact, 200 is not even on the right side of the road!
It's the most bizarre business (lack of) signage and addressage I've seen in a very long time.

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->The addressage isn't their fault; it's the Postal Orifice. They're assigned a postal address, and they have little to no say in the matter (they can ask, but the USPS doesn't have to listen).
I live on a small side street (Trolley) off the main road (Westbrook). There's a house on the corner that faces Westbrook, with its side to Trolley. No one — really, no one — would consider that house to be on Trolley, yet they have a Trolley address, thanks to the USPS (which preferred to have them put their mailbox on Trolley). So when they give their address, they always have to explain it to people and tell them that it's really on Westbrook, but....
The signage is probably their fault, though it's possible that they're not permitted, by local ordinances, to put a sign out on Peters. If that's not the case, then they really should have a big sign at what would be 200 Peters.
Maybe they figure that, well, they're the Big Multiplex, and that people will find them. And that'd be mostly right.
I dunno. Lowe's and Best Buy have big signs on N Peters. The theater could, too.
And they could certainly say in their ads, website, etc, that they're "off" North Peters...
