Your Stories Q&A: Any plans to redevelop the old Club 37 in Salina?
SALINA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — You ask, we answer!
Viewer Question: Club 37 in Salina has been sitting empty for years. Are there any plans to tear down the old club and redevelop the property?
Club 37, off Route 11, near the Salina/Clay border, has been closed for over 20 years. Before it shuttered, it was the place to be seen on Friday nights.
Many of our viewers have great memories, spending time at the nightclub in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Now, the once hot spot has become an eyesore of a vacant lot.
The club is still standing, but it can be hard to see from Route 11 because of the overgrown bushes. Those bushes block the building and the graffiti that's been painted on the exterior.
The viewer who asked the question was hopeful there was a plan for redeveloping the run-down piece of property, seeing how just a few doors down, the vacant Ponderosa was recently renovated. That building is now the new home of the Daily Diner.
There are no plans for redevelopment on the radar. For years, the property has been listed for lease or sale by Pavia Real Estate.
Dominic Pavia told NewsChannel 9, there's been interest over the years, but no deal has made it across the finish line.
He said the property is currently available for redevelopment.
In the event a deal is made in the future, the old Club 37 will be demolished for new construction.
We'll keep tabs on this property and let you know if there are any developments on redevelopment.

Here's How Much It Costs To Retire Comfortably Without Social Security in Your State
Given the uncertainty that has surrounded the future solvency of the American Social Security system for years, it's worth considering the possibility that the Social Security Administration will be capable of far less as time goes on. In fact, the reserve fund that helps pay out Social Security benefits at the current rate is expected to be depleted by 2035. With that in mind, it may behoove future retirees to plan for a retirement without Social Security. Find Out: Learn More: GOBankingRates recently completed a study that compiled the cost of retirement across all 50 states — assuming a life expectancy of 80. A comfortable retirement was defined as one in which you have double the funds needed to meet the cost of living. Want to know how much you'll need to put aside to enjoy your golden years in comfort, without a Social Security safety net? GOBankingRates has your answers below. Annual cost of living comfortably: $70,492 Savings needed to retire at 60 (with no Social Security): $1,409,839 Savings needed to retire at 70 (with no Social Security): $704,919 % of population 65+:

Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' doesn't include his biggest Social Security proposal
Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' doesn't include his biggest Social Security proposal Social Security needs some major changes, but they aren't in the new tax bill. Show Caption Hide Caption House passes President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' The House passed President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill.' It will now move onto the Senate. Social Security is one of the biggest issues politicians in Washington must address in the next few years. Many retirees are feeling the pressure on their budgets due to rising inflation, despite automated cost-of-living adjustments for their monthly benefits. Meanwhile, the Social Security trust fund is in danger of depletion by early next decade if Congress fails to make any reforms to the program. Not only will that impact the amount future retirees will receive, but it'll cut benefits for the tens of millions of people relying on retirement benefits right now. President Donald Trump made several promises to voters about Social Security during his 2024 campaign. He said the government won't cut benefits, and it won't raise the retirement age for new beneficiaries (which is just another form of cuts). His biggest promise of all, though, aimed to help stretch each dollar of Social Security further for retirees. Trump proposed doing away with taxes on Social Security benefits. Not only are taxes on Social Security income complicated, they can significantly reduce the value of each retiree's monthly checks. But in the version of the new tax bill the House of Representatives just passed last month, there's no tax cut on Social Security benefits at all. While many retirees may find that disappointing, the truth is that they may be better off without it. How the government taxes Social Security As mentioned, taxes on Social Security income can be quite complex. The government uses a metric called combined income to determine what percentage (if any) of your Social Security benefits count as taxable income. Combined income is equal to half your Social Security income, plus your adjusted gross income, plus any untaxed interest income. If your combined income exceeds certain thresholds, you'll have to pay taxes on up to 85% of your Social Security benefits. Here's how it breaks down. As you can see, the thresholds are extremely low. That's because they haven't been updated for inflation since they went into effect over 30 years ago. Nonetheless, Social Security benefits have gotten annual adjustments to the point where the average retiree collects about $2,000 per month from Social Security. As such, more and more retirees are facing a tax bill on their Social Security income each year. Eliminating that tax sounds like a great relief for many seniors, but the policy could actually harm lower-income retirees the most over the long run, while leaving very few Americans better off. The unfortunate truth about Social Security's future As mentioned, Social Security is facing a significant shortfall if Congress fails to reform the program. Demographic shifts and extending life expectancies have led to higher cumulative benefits payouts without the requisite income to support those payments. The latest Trustees Report estimates the Social Security trust fund for retirement benefits will drop to $0 by 2033. At that point, the incoming funds will only support about 79% of benefits due. There are three components of how the Social Security trust fund generates revenue to support benefits payments. First is the tax on wages that's usually split between employers and employees. Every dollar of wages in America (up to $176,100 per person in 2025) incurs a 12.4% tax that goes directly to Social Security. That brought in $1.1 trillion last year. The second source of income comes from investing the funds held in the trust in government bonds. Net interest income totaled almost $64 billion last year. The third source of income is taxation on benefits themselves. In other words, Trump's plan to get rid of the tax on Social Security benefits will accelerate the depletion of the Social Security trust fund. And while those taxes generated just $54 billion last year, they're a growing source of revenue, and the impact is very noticeable. It could accelerate the trust fund depletion by over a year and require a 25% cut in benefits (instead of 21%), according to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Eliminating taxes on Social Security will harm everyone in the long run, but the policy will only benefit a small percentage of Americans in the near term. Low-income households pay very little taxes on Social Security income. The bottom 40% of households by income receiving benefits pay an average of less than 1% in taxes on their benefits. Even high-income households don't face significant tax burdens. The top quintile of retirees, those with more than $205,800 in household income, pay just 20% in taxes on Social Security benefits, on average. Here's what the "One Big Beautiful Bill" offers instead Instead of cutting taxes on Social Security benefits, Americans age 65 and older will get an additional $4,000 tax deduction as long as their income remains below certain thresholds. That could give seniors some relief without as much negative impact on Social Security in the long run. As a result, most seniors will be better off under the current plan than if Trump got his way and fully eliminated taxes on Social Security. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Americans flunk retirement literacy quiz. Here's why it matters.
Most American adults are stumped by basic retirement-related questions. That's according to a new report from the TIAA Institute and the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center at the George Washington University School of Business. Most quiz respondents bombed, big-time, when posed six questions related to Social Security benefits, Medicare coverage, employment-based retirement savings, ensuring lifetime income, and life expectancy in retirement. On average, they answered two out of six questions correctly. But is this surprising? 'Decisions concerning Social Security and Medicare are not that simple and require people to collect quite a bit of information to develop a plan,' said Annamaria Lusardi, co-author of the report and a senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR). 'For many people, Social Security and Medicare are not enough, and this is why it is alarming to see that the knowledge of how these institutions work is so limited.' By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy Curious about your retirement know-how? Take the abbreviated quiz below. Many Americans expect Medicare, for example, will cover all of their expenses. 'It's a shock to them that it doesn't,' Surya Kolluri, head of the TIAA Institute, told Yahoo Finance. 'And then it's a further surprise that if their income is high, they'll pay higher premiums for Medicare Part B and prescription drug benefits.' Why financial literacy matters: People who have a grip on retirement concepts are more likely to have a better shot at not outliving their money. It's no wonder many of us fall short. Only about 28 states have financial literacy requirements for high school students to graduate. It's typically a one-semester course covering topics like budgeting, saving, and managing debt. The real trouble begins when someone starts a job. Waiting to start a retirement savings account even for a year or so has lifelong consequences in terms of saving for retirement. Can you say compounding? 'One of the places that could make an impact is if employers were to offer this education when young adults join the company,' Kolluri said. 'It's a perfect time." It's good to know how many years you have to save for. Only a third of Americans knew that, on average, in the US a 65-year-old man will live about 19 more years to age 84 and a 65-year-old woman about 22 more years to age 87, according to the report. Learn more: How much should I have saved by 50? Having a bead on how many years you might potentially need to finance after you step away from the workforce is key, Michael Finke, professor of wealth management and director of the Granum Center for Financial Security at The American College of Financial Services, told Yahoo Finance. 'Those who understand average longevity are 54% more likely to plan for spending into their 90s and delay tapping Social Security checks,' Finke, who is the co-author of a new study focused on financial planning for longevity, said. 'Those who had an unrealistically low expectation of retirement longevity were far more likely to indicate that they plan to claim Social Security income benefits before the age of 65,' he added. Read more: What is the retirement age for Social Security, 401(k), and IRA withdrawals? 'The main hurdle for people to answer these questions correctly is they haven't sat down and thought about what they'll need in retirement and what the situation might look like,' Jeremy Burke, a senior economist at the University of Southern California's Center for Economic and Social Research, told Yahoo Finance. 'As people get closer to retirement, they tend to pay a little more attention to it. It's a big ask for a lot of folks to try to think about in 30 years what their financial situation's going to look like.' He's spot on. I certainly didn't give it a passing thought and have been open about cashing out an employer plan when I was 30, paying the penalty and tax, and never looking back. That is until now, when I muse about what that might be worth today. Generally, people become more knowledgeable about finances as it becomes more germane. 'Decisions like whether I should put money away in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) become relevant when you have enough money to set aside in an IRA, or when you get your first job and are making the decision about how much to save in a 401(k),' Finke said. 'It only becomes salient when we're forced to see the relevancy of that choice in our own lives.' Learn more: What is a 401(k)? A guide to the rules and how it works. Then, too, for the most part many people save for retirement these days in default investments like target-date funds which don't require any knowledge of the financial wizardry behind them. Nearly 7 in 10 of workers save in automatic investments in their employer-provided accounts that don't require that they do anything, Finke said. 'In essence, when it comes to retirement savings, we've bubble wrapped the worker experience when it comes to saving.' That is a good thing in many ways, but sticky stuff comes when they invest outside of their 401(k), and are prone to making investment mistakes because they're not as knowledgeable as they need to be, he tripping point in retirement planning is that when people think about whether they have saved enough for retirement it's all about focusing on their number, Finke said. 'That's the total amount of savings that you have in your retirement account, but that number really doesn't mean anything to anybody because it's so difficult to translate the number into a lifestyle.' I agree. Being a 401(k) millionaire sounds like heady stuff, but what does that really mean when you might have three decades of living costs post-retirement? "Simply saying that people are too stupid to make good financial decisions is not the right way to go about helping people make better choices,' Finke said.
