Is anything ever going to be done to rebuild/renovate the old, abandoned Starlite Theater here in Latham? Or is just going to sit there rotting like so many other buildings around here?

It looks just like all the buildings that were abandoned after the Chernobyl accident!

It's been empty for years now, and it's really disgusting because it's just another example of the many buildings which have fallen into such disrepair, which could be used for better purposes.

There is really no entertainment or "nightlife" around Latham/Cohoes whatsoever anymore, and the area desparately needs to modernize and clean up all these crumbling ruins all around us.

But then again with all the regulatory stonewalling around here, you're lucky if anything ever gets done!

And with the Latham Circle Mall's future in a constant state of limbo, restoring the Starlite Theater would bring a much-needed boost to the area's economy/tax base.

Let's bring back some CULTURE to this dead community!

I'd definitely pay to go see a "Michael Buble" concert or a "Jerry Seinfeld" act there ANY DAY!
