As soon as you start talking to Diana and Mike, the new owners of Story Screen Cinema on 160 Fairview Avenue, you understand how happy they are. They are living their dream.

Review by Trixie Starr As I drove up to The Campus, on Route 217, less than fifteen minutes outside of Hudson, I could not help but notice the cars parked along the side of the road. Some were half-parked on the street and half on people’s front lawns. As a “downstater” who has lived in…
