25 Lost Movie Theaters Upstate New Yorkers Still Remember

The old movie theaters of Upstate New York were once landmarks of everyday life. Downtown movie palaces filled the sidewalks of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany. Smaller houses in places such as Saranac Lake, Geneva, Oneonta, and Watertown offered the same excitement on a different scale. A theater could be a family’s Saturday afternoon destination, a teenager’s first date, or a place where the town gathered for a film everyone was talking about.

Grateful Dead Close out Fall Tour in Binghamton: November 6, 1977

Whenever a Grateful Dead discussion ensues, the year 1977 generally soon follows. And for good reason. Many argue it’s the best, or at least their preferred, era of the band’s music, pointing to such epic shows in New York like ones earlier this year at Cornell on May 8 and the next day’s show in Buffalo. But thankfully The Grateful Dead was not quite done with the state just yet as they decided to end their 1977 Fall Tour in Binghamton. Their first appearance at Broome County Arena on November 6 would mark the final show on the East Coast for this most holy of years, closing out one of the most revered chapters in the band’s history.

Advice from the pros: surviving your first Buffalo winter

While the November temperatures are warm, the possibility that some students may soon learn how unprepared they are for the Buffalo winter is still around the corner.

JazzBuffalo: A New Season Begins Sunday! Plus, More Reasons to Gather

Last Thursday’s Sinatra in the Lounge at the Statler was one of those evenings that reminded me of how much people enjoy a good night out. There was something wonderful about seeing people dressed for the occasion, gathering with friends, enjoying cocktails, and listening to the fabulous songs of Frank Sinatra performed by an eight-piece jazz orchestra.
