I found
out today (9-29-07), from a very reliable source that the Gemini Drive-in
Theatre located in Eau Claire, WI is now up for sale!!! At the surface,
that might mean that at least someone can buy it and keep it open as a drive-in.
BUT from what my source has told me, there is a "NO THEATER" clause
built into the sale of the property. Which basically means that if the
Gemini is sold, it will no longer be able to be run as a drive-in theater.
Speculation has it that Gene Grengs who owns 2 indoor theaters in Eau Claire,
doesn't want competition from the outdoor theater once it is sold. So
if this drive-in does open next year, you may want to stop by for a double
feature before it is gone forever.
