North Park

Cinema Paradise -io 
So, its 88 degrees and you think you're smart escaping to the movies. You're not just smart, you're brilliant because you are going to the North Park Theater. Cooler air and the splendor of the lovingly restored single screen theater of North Buffalo awaits. The theater has been a cinema since 1920. Through several machinations and periods of decline, the theater has hung on and been loved by cinema buffs near and far.   When last owners, Dipson Theaters, gave up on the theater,  things were not looking good. Local hero Mike Christiano (Left Bank) and attorney Tom Eoannou stepped in at the helm of an ownership group determined to save and restore the theater to its former glory. Mission accomplished. Treat yourself to a film and a vision of what cinema-going was intended to be when designed by Henry Spann. Think Cinema Paradiso with a happier ending. Independent film lives on here as well as the long lost tradition of weekend family matinees. North Park is a must visit and we will return with some pix of the fabulous restoration of one of America's great cinemas.
