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.

Billy Joel at Home: 10 Photos of the Piano Man Through the Decades

For Billy Joel, New York is more than just a place. It’s an inextricable part of what makes the singer who he is. “My speech patterns are New York. The music that I like, it was all New York–based. That’s what I think of when I think of home,” he said in his 2025 HBO documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes. “It’s my roots.”

Veterans Day continues to be observed on Nov. 11, regardless of which day of the week it falls. In New York, Veterans Day is a state legal holiday and all federal, state, county and local government offices are closed.

Tioga County museum looks to a brighter future with $2.2M campaign

It has been a year of extraordinary bright lights for this writer as the executive director of the Tioga County Historical Society. I am so proud of our staff and cadre of volunteers who, once again, helped create some wonderful exhibits that were all tied into the 250th anniversary of the United States and Tioga County history. Each day, I would walk through the museum, turning on all the lights and marveling at the artifacts that would take the visitor back to the time of the indigenous people and carry them forward to today’s world. They shone a bright light on the rich history of all the communities that make up this county. During this time, the board of trustees of the Society voted upon my urging to begin a capital campaign to build additions to the museum building that would allow us to move our collections to the upper level – well above the September 2011 flood levels that had devastated the collections and research center. Using movable shelving on two sides of the building would allow for better climate control and protection of those items. However, all of this is expensive. Attempts had been made before, and those
