I have never been to this one. I've been to an Alamo Drafthouse in Texas plenty of times and always enjoyed it. I think I'll go now to show support. I hate entitlement. I am epileptic and have a service dog. A real one. Not for emotional support. If I have a seizure he pushes me onto flat surface, pulls up my shirt sleeve to show my med bracelet, and presses my alert button. I live rurally and have a farm so I'm out in the pastures a lot on my own He is there to protect me from being trampled if I happen to go down near the cows or bulls. If we are in public he will sit by me and "ask" for help. He's a Siberian so it sounds like he's talking. I always buy him a seat and he sits silently and unmoving through the whole movie. We also sit in the very back row by the aisle so if we do have to get up we won't block anyone's view. I don't pet him or talk to him, he's there to do a job and gets plenty of that at home. If he had an off day, which has never happened, and made any noise or began moving then I would leave. I was nervous the first few times and was fully prepared to go during the previews as I didn't know how he would react. I would have known if he was fearful and wouldn't have tried to "let him get used to it".I had a person once in Colorado tell me they were allergic to dogs in a theater with assigned seating so I apologized and left. I'm not trying to get attention or impede on the experience of someone else.

I despise people who try and use disability for special treatment. It makes it harder for everyone else and makes disabled people look whiney and entitled.

Sorry for the rant. Just aggravating.

Asides from just living with it and getting a air purifier to combat lingering smoking and smell. Keep a record of every time you have notified the leasing office with smoking violations from your neighbors. That way, when you are able to move out you have some protection, if they try to fine you for smoke damage/cleaning.

Unfortunately Missouri has no laws for renters. It sucks. We were in a similar situation with awful neighbors but also had water damage in our apartment that became moldy. We also lived without hot water for 2 months. There was nothing we could do. I was so glad to get out of there and we had to pay to break our lease. Then they took over 2 months to process our move out. Still nothing we could do.

I would suggest getting a carbon filter for your furnace/ac. It helped a bit for the smoke smell in my case. We also ran an air purifier with carbon filters in those rooms that smelled strongly.

Edit: for spelling
