My origional thought was that it was some sort of (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

What it really reminds me of is a small, one or two screen movie theater - the kind of operation that's being (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jun-00, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
