If you happened to miss the first two, then be sure to make the next two. Friday night movie nights that is. Cinema Sotto le Stelle, the city's favorite Italian outdoor movie series, has been postponed for one summer, and in its place a series of silents and oldies has filled in. Cinema rolls every Friday in July at the Unitarian-Universalist Church's side lawn (next to M&T Bank-Elmwood and West Ferry). There, movie-goers can unroll a blanket and break out a picnic basket while enjoying the two remaining picks.

The movie schedule can be found on BuffaloResearch.com, and the group's final two selections are: This Friday guests will be treated to a Charlie Chaplin Film Festival (1917). There will be four shorts shown that evening. The following week's selection will feature the film Duke is Tops (1938) starring Cab Calloway and debuting Lena Horne (July 27th).

As a special bonus, screenings will showcase rarely seen, short, made-in-Buffalo documentaries before each film. The movies generally begin at 9:30, but make sure that you get there early to snag a good spot and catch the pre-show. Sponsored by the Unitarian-Universalist Church.

    Story Image Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others. Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f …

    Story Image Free light rail rides on downtown's above ground section could be derailed thanks to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's budget mess.

  • The NFTA Santa Ride

    Story Image Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour. Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …
