What an amazing new (ish!) addition to downtown Glens Falls!!! The "ish", you ask? Well, back in…read morethe day, this was a place for locals to enjoy some vaudeville and other live entertainment. But it's been an abandoned building and boarded up for many years...until now. Beautifully renovated with a full-service restaurant downstairs, the Park Theater is an exciting new venue for musical artists in an intimate setting. It's not only a performance space but it can be used for a variety of different events. I saw flyers for weddings and I'm sure that they could accommodate all kinds of special occasions. The seating is not "theater-style", so it's flexible as to how the main room is configured. They had a small bar with several wine and beer options along with delicious-looking treats. Non-alcoholic beverages were also available. Everyone that worked there was extremely pleasant and seemed to be really excited. (I am, too!!) I was lucky enough to see Dar Williams as one of their first shows. The sound was terrific...it seems that they configured the performance area with appropriate acoustic accommodations. I can't wait to see what comes next and continue to support this fabulous new establishment.

From the owner: Built in 1911, the Park Theater has undergone a multimillion dollar restoration and is the newest…read morehotspot for concerts, events, theater and dance in downtown Glens Falls, NY.

They are all super friendly, body positive, and open to all kinds of folk who walk through the door. I have taken classes with people of all ages, sizes, and strength/ability. The instructors take extra care to make sure everyone gets the attention they need to master the right moves and they all owe it to Terri for training them. Some of the instructors are professional dancers while for others it's a hobby, but they are all talented and lovely people. I've improved so much and after trying other studios in the area, this is my ultimate favorite.

Oh dear, decisions decisions about the wonderful potential of The Shirt Factory. An old warehouse…read more type facility, multiple floors transformed into close to 50(?) smaller spaces that could be a retail gem! Many unique art spaces, photo studios and (maybe overly specific) shops all with highly varied hours leave this huge spot feeling eerily empty. You can walk around the entire space and literally there may be 5 or 6 places open out of 50. Uggh!!! They do have a wonderful gallery that showcases the best art from local school children and young adults which is surprisingly awesome. ALso Food Truck Thursday is pretty neat outside on the grounds (although we could seriously do without the county fair fried dough and cotton candy trucks). Social distancing enforced with divided picnic tables that are effectively wiped down between seated parties. Oh and craft beer- beer is good! Ultimately, what could really help would be hours 2 days a week where all shops were guaranteed to be open, say Thursday's and Saturday's 2-6pm and A SMALL MARKETING BUDGET for the building as a whole, standard signage on the OUTSIDE of the building letting potential customers what's INSIDE... Come on people, I know I'm not the only person who has drove past this place and thought, "What's up with that big building- is it open? what's inside? Common sense stuff could fix that issue. The potential is HUGE here because right now it's just a big boring building filled with interesting retail thats never open...

Almost 9 months later, I came back for another food truck rally this summer. Boy has this place…read moregrown! They now have 3 different outside areas packed with vendors selling food, creations, & services & it's incredible to see how much it's grown. There's still not a lot of signage though, especially inside, so it's extremely easy to get lost and confused inside the building, or even outside if you're looking for a certain vendor at the pop ups. I do wish that more consistent hours would be implemented here. When I went to this most recent food truck rally, I of course poked my head inside too to check out the shops and almost every single shop on the second floor was shut up, and a good majority in the basement as well. Nearly the entire first floor was open, and about 1/2 of the third floor. These businesses are missing out on a great opportunity! Why isn't it required for them to be open during these events? As a buyer it's disappointing, and as a local it's frustrating when you're trying to buy local yet the locals aren't taking advantage of such a great opportunity. Parking has become a bit of a nightmare during these events, which just goes to show how popular they've become, but on a regular day it's pretty easy to find parking here or right on the streets nearby.
