The Paramount opened a year ago to much applause from town and civic leaders and others happy to have an entertainment center to fill the void left by the closing of the IMAC theater.
Many big names, among them the Goo-Goo Dolls, Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg and Elvis Costello, have appeared at the Paramount, bringing with them fans from all over the tri-state area. The arrival of so many big acts has put Huntington in the spotlight.
But complaints have followed, as some neighbors gripe about the behavior of some fans and other Huntington residents take issue with parking problems.
