I hope this place is doing well. It takes guts for a local company to open a brand-new urban multiplex these days.

The Gateway is run by the same good local folks who run the Drexel Theatre in Bexley, the Drexel Grandview, and downtown Columbus’s Arena Grand theatre (not currently listed here at CinemaTreasures). They also formerly ran the Drexel North.

Until the Gateway opened last year, the High Street strip opposite Ohio State University had been without a movie theatre for over a decade and a half. The last movie theatres on North High, the University Flick and the World (Roxy), closed in the 1980s.

The Gateway cinema is part of a large-scale redevelopment of the area around North High Street and 11th Avenue, now called the ‘South Campus Gateway’. As another part of this project, a new Barnes & Noble replaced Long’s Bookstore which was formerly located at 15th and High.
