Regal Cinema debuts at the Walden Galleria

The new “lifestyles” center renovations at Walden Galleria are really starting to take shape, and tonight I had a chance to drop in to a VIP party at the Regal Cinemas, with 16 stadium style theatres and all the modern amenities.

I was totally floored. The opulence is amazing, from the marble tiled flooring to the neat architecture and splash of neon colors to the high tech LED boards at the ticket kiosks and the concessions stands. It is one jaw dropping and eye popping facility.

Even better, the entire new section buildout of the mall, complete with its faux “Main Street” outside is rapidly coming to its finish. The new parking deck is open, and the old one has been given a much needed facelift. When all this is done, it will be THE shopping and entertainment destination in Western New York.

And again, I harken and recall the days in the late 80s when the NIMBYs and the unions and the kooks and assorted macadamias tried to do everything in their power to stop this mall from every happening. Thankfully they weren’t successful, and being on the front lines fighting for the mall back then, I had a front row seat to all the bullshit and obstructionism that went on.

But those freaks didn’t disappear. The names change, but the Tim Tielmans of the world and do-gooders trying to stop the Amherst Town Centre project always truck out the same tired crap - the noise, the traffic, the rats, the migratory waterfowl, the stench… blah bah blah blah.

If you haven’t seen all the recent doings at the Walden Galleria lately, come out to Cheektowaga and check things out!

    Oh sure, the movie theater was great and everything, but what about that AWESOME string quartet playing in the lobby?!

    (I’m totally kidding. I’m one of the musicians in that quartet, so I thought it was kind of funny to get home from my gig and find this post on one of my favorite sports blogs. I totally agree, the mall looks great.)

    God I am old - I remember going to the preview days when that theater opened the first time. Every show was $1, which was right in my price range then.

    Now, I’ll be sure to stop in sometime in the next three years, which is my usual pace of stepping foot in a mall - any mall.
