I'm pretty sure a couple of these were here in Chemung County. Can you think of any other restaurants or even local businesses from the 1970's or 80's that you want back?

... have you seen "Threads"?

...Jackson recalled that while BBC productions would usually be followed by congratulatory phone calls from friends and colleagues immediately after airing, no such calls came after the first screening of Threads. Initially thinking that the film had been poorly received, he later realised that "people had switched off their TVs and just sat quietly thinking, in some cases too troubled to go to sleep or maybe not wanting to risk bad dreams".^[43] He stated that he had it on good authority that Ronald Reagan watched the film when it aired in the US.^[10] Neil Kinnock, then Labour Party leader, wrote a letter to Jackson and Hines in which he thanked them for their "important and impressive work" and told them not to be worried by the possibility of viewers becoming inured to a potential nuclear war since "the dangers of complacency are much greater than any risks of knowledge".^[14][44]
