I saw many movies here in the 1970’s, I saw Star Wars in 1977 at the Gem Theater, the lobby reopened in the early 80’s as a video rental place for a time.
Man, that opening shot of Gem back in the day at 0:14 , looks like any street you'd see in Chicago. One city has persevered and the other has not, unfortunately.
I remember when I went to that theater In 1971 , I used to go camping at fort defiance and catfishing on the Ohio river , What a Sad State of affairs , for an American town to be burned to the ground ‼️🇺🇸

Nice video! Thanks for sharing
I hope one day this historic old theater can be fully restored into something useful.😊
Thanks 😊
At least preserve the exterior for historical purposes. I don’t think anything could happen with the inside.
Cool explore,I'm sure it was a good looking place when it was open
Nothing kills a town like riots.
