Someone should do to the Foley's building downtown what that guy did to that building in downtown Syracuse: gut it, add some windows, and turn it into something else, preferably a movie theater.

Why get rid of Foley's Downtown?

And why add another movie theater downtown? The nearby Angelika shows a great selection and is a fine facility, but often seems a wee bit short on moviegoers.
