Oswego Movie Theatre 75 year Anniversary
Reported by: Abigail Buttacavoli, WTOP-10 TV
What’s better than the aroma of freshly popped popcorn and the boom of a new blockbuster film? To the people of Oswego, one little movie theater has been a family favorite for almost a century.
This year Oswego Cinema is celebrating 75 years in business since its grand opening on January 22, 1941. Originally located on the corner of Bridge Street and Second Street where the current theater stands was the Hippodrome Theater which opened its doors around 1910.
The Oswego Cinema, referred to as the Oswego 7 Cinemas for its seven screen rooms, was built in 1940 for M. Shapiro and Sons and designed in the art deco style by noted architect of his time John Ebberson. The old time charm and the movement of the lights give an appearance of going back in time and that attracts Oswego moviegoers.
Vinny Ruggio, a lifelong Oswego resident, brought his grandchildren to the movies and explained his memories and his love of the theater. “It’s the best gig in town, even now for me,” he said, “and I want my grandchildren to enjoy the same experience and I hope this place always stays open.”
“I like the art deco atmosphere of the place, it just has a lot of history, being almost 75 years old,” said Cole Smith, the general manager. He believes the theater is a great part of the town.
Each and every person who comes through the doors of the cinema is witnessing a unique piece of history. Here’s to 75 more years!

Relay For Life
Oswego, NY – SUNY Oswego is putting on their 10th annual Relay for Life event on April 6th from 6pm to 2am. Coordinator, Tina Cooper, tells us all about the event.
“Historically it has been a event that goes from an evening to a morning. It is representing the change over from dusk to dawn. Talking about throughout the night, relating it back to a person enduring cancer throughout their journey and throughout their fight.” Relay for Life Coordinator Tina Cooper said.
Senior, Riley Synan, has been involved in Relay for Life for 12 years, she shares with us her inspiration to why she continues to help this organization.
“Both my grandparents died of different types of cancer and my mom also got diagnosed with cancer when I was in high school so, we made a team for her after that.” Synan said.
Coordinator Tina Cooper encourages students to come out and get involved in SUNY Oswego’s Relay for Life event.
“Come to this and see what your campus is about and see what it is like to actually be involved on campus with a whole ton of people your age that care about the same thing.” Cooper said.
