Fact: When Kerasotes took over operation of the theatre, ALL of the theatres were in operation.

I know this for a fact, because I continued to go there quite often after that transition. Yes, later on, the three smaller screens were roped off and only the main theatre was left open, however, I am not qualified to comment as to the reason, nor do I wish to carry on a pointless argument.

From this point on, I would suggest that if anyone wishes to post comments which include quotes, please make sure that you cite your reference from the time that the comment is posted – verbatim. No editorializing. The comment as stated originally can be inferred to be an outsider’s opinion. I apologize for the name change I made, but it is incomplete comments like those above that can unfairly color a person’s opinion about a business or situation. Now you know how it feels.

My frustration with this situation was that the whole story was not being presented, merely a fragment of what happened was stated. Again, I am not the one to consult as to all of those facts, but there are others out there who are.

Mr. Van"Fibber" is basing his statement upon hearsay and rumors. I would appreciate it if comments were not made about the reason for closing unless the information is accurate. First of all, when Kerasotes took over the building, ALL of the theatres were in perfect operation. It is not my responsibility to explain why the theatre was closed, but it is also not the responsibility of others to speculate upon the reasons, either.

It’s not the Starview Drive-in, it the Skyview Drive-In, which is still in operation and still owned by BAC Theatres, Inc.
