A few final Gemini Drive In Photos

The Gemini Drive In property is now officially sold. These photos are of
what remains. The main building will likely be gone too. A new drive in location is in the works.
Still it will not be quite the same. I need to say, the current owners found it very difficult to sell the
land the Gemini was located on since 1973. I look at the area around the now closed Gemini.
It is highly industrial and commercial. That whole area has too much lighting and noise for a
drive in theatre.

 This is the second box office used at the  Gemini.  The first one was much larger and had a roof that matched the marquee. That original box office was destroyed when a delivery truck caught the corner of it
and twisted the entire structure. The builder of the new box office really wanted the roof  of that for a project at his home. With the cooperation of the contractors working on other things, they came together and helped him get the top portion of the box office.
