Spend an afternoon on the Lake Erie coast at Presque Isle, visit the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, hike the mountain trails through the Allegheny National Forest, or tour the Dutchman farms around Lawrence County. We don't have much, but its home. By the way, I run a nine screen with Simplex projectors and soundheads in New Castle.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-19-2000 12:32 PM                        About 50 miles up the road (NY Route 5) along Lake Erie between Erie PA and Buffalo NY is the still operating Grandview Drive-In in Angola NY, where I worked as projectionist for three glorious summers. Nice trip in the summer, when you travel through the vineyards where many of the Concord grapes for juice and jellies are grown. AFAIK, it was the first drive-in in New York state with radio sound (I built the transmitter myself in 1967). ------------------ John P.

How about a Yankee or a Met game. Jets or Giants, Knicks or Nets, Rangers or Devils or Islanders. Broadway shows & off Broadway shows. Great restaurants, Times Square, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Tribeca, New York Stock Exchange et al.,Metropolitan Museum of Art., American Museum of the Moving Image (a must for film - teckers) You won't need a car you can walk and beat the moving car. Travel subways like a real New Yorker. Get mugged. Dine up in the clouds on top of Rockefeller Center or the World Trade Center. A quiet walk in Central Park (not at night). Ah, me I getting homesick al-ready. Think I will stay put. Randy Loy Expert Film Handler Posts: 156 Registered: Aug 1999 posted 03-23-2001 02:17 PM                     New York would be cool...uh...maybe not the get mugged part but the rest would be great!

Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-25-2001 02:34 PM                     Hey Bob, How about a tour of the Met life tower clock? I'd come out for that one.
