Whoa, folks. What's the rush? Less than 10 seconds to get flagged!? Is Ukexpat bored today or what! LoL Seriously, I just started this article. If you're looking for some long-winded errudite explanation of why we should preserve a reference to the cultural highlight here in Central New York, I'm going to need -- besides getting a bigger dictionary and a faster computer -- a little time here to serve up sufficiently verbose text. I reckon that opening paragraph was a little opulent in it's content but felt it would serve as a placeholder until tomorrow (as I have used up my free time and have to get back to the search for employment as if anyone in this area is going to hire a 56 year-old design engineer when they can get 20-something "geniuses" fresh out of school). I mean there are some interesting side stories I'd like to explore, like the educational program named after the daughter of Frank Gannett's friend and general manager for example.

Fortunately, TransporterMan, et al, came to my rescue and set the article up more ship-shape. I would like to point out, however, that it was actually the Powers Theater that opened in 1925. The Clemens Center is a legal entity formed in the post-1972 flood era to obtain and manage funding (via private and public sources) to preserve what was left of the Powers Theater and, going forward, to provide a vehicle for the performing arts in Elmira.
