Latchis Hotel and Theatre
Latchis Hotel and Theatre

The Latchis Hotel and Theatre (orig. the Latchis Memorial Building) is an art deco building in Brattleboro, Vermont first built in 1938. The building is one of only two extant Art Deco buildings in Vermont. The building is run by the Brattleboro Arts Initiative, a local non-profit.The building was constructred as a memorial to Demetrius P. Latchis, a Greek immigrant who became an important businessman in Brattleboro, by his sons. Latchis had built a business which ran fourteen theatres throughout New England. The interior include murals and other artwork with Greek mythology, which was created by Hungarian muralist Louis Jambor. The building also includes terrazzo flooring. The building was designed so that it could include a hotel, theatre, ballroom, restaurant, bar, and other business spaces. The architect for the building was S. Wesley Haynes.Though a successful business through the 60s, the business slumped in the 70s. In 1985, two children of the original brothers revitalized the hotel. They sold the hotel in 2003 to a local non-profit, the Brattleboro Arts Initiative, created for maintaining the building, bought the hotel for 1.3 million dollars. The money included both local and federal grants. The building suffered considerable damage in 2011, during Hurricane Irene, but was reopened later that year. The building was further restored in 2013, after a half-million dollar fundraising campaign. Since the covid crisis they've introduced private movie rentals and still play big name films. In addition, they rent the smaller theaters out for video game playing. An entire family can play MarioKart on the big screen.

WINQ (AM)

WINQ (1490 AM; "WINK Country") is a radio station licensed to serve Brattleboro, Vermont. The station is owned by the Monadnock Broadcasting Group subsidiary of Saga Communications and licensed to Saga Communications of New England, LLC. WINQ simulcasts the country music programming of Keene, New Hampshire sister station WINQ-FM. The station had previously been assigned the WKVT call letters by the Federal Communications Commission. WKVT was part of a network of progressive talk stations throughout the northeastern United States that are owned by Saga Communications (others including WNYY in Ithaca, New York, WHMP in Northampton, Massachusetts, WHNP in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts and WHMQ in Greenfield, Massachusetts); these, in turn, were among the last progressive talk stations still on the air in early 2017. Because of the migration of most progressive talk shows to off-air platforms, Saga announced plans to begin dropping the format in February 2017; WNYY was the first to change, followed by WHNP, with most of the other stations in the network likely to follow.On May 30, 2018, WKVT dropped its syndicated programming, including Stephanie Miller and Thom Hartmann, and began to carry the country music programming of Keene-based WINQ; WKVT's local morning drive time program, Green Mountain Mornings, was retained following the format change. The station changed its call sign to WINQ on June 19, 2018. Green Mountain Mornings, which was hosted by Olga Peters, was cancelled in December 2018.
