By far the best of the WMHT Capital Region documentaries is Remembering Downtown. As Albany, Schenectady & Troy are transforming into the hubs of the new “Tech Valley” it is definitely worth a trip down memory lane to see the Tri-Cities in their prime. I’m not sure if this is still part of WMHT’s programming line-up, but I think they might have videos available if you contact the station.
I caught this documentary by WMHT last weekend on PBS on Demand (channel 1007 - Time Warner Digital). A great job by WMHT (as always) in researching and presenting photos and memories of the movie and drive-in theaters we all remember. A special nod to a couple of ommissions…the Fox Theater on Wolf Road where I remember standing in line FOREVER to see the first Star Wars when it came out. And also the Tri-City Twin Drive-In in Menands, they had 2 screens and you could watch 2 movies simultaneously if you wanted. Fun stuff.
