Trolleyguy commented about Flyway Minema on Jun 6, 2017 at 3:01 pm

The Pepin Chamber of Commerce informed me that the theatre is definitely closed. They believe that the group running it is either dissolving or reorganizing. The word “Fly” represents fly fishing lures. Status should be closed.

Nice and good news for symphony goers. Still doesn’t bring movies back to downtown Milwaukee. Not even an art theatre.

I think this place is closed. The website has not been updated, nothing current of Facebook page, and the phone is disconnected. Google Street View of October 2016 shows a hearing aid store at that address. There is some indication on the website that they are moving into a new location.

In the grand opening ad, one of the films is the Hunt for Red October. As this was released in the US on March 2, 1990, by July 13 it would have been in second-run status.

I also don’t believe that photo is of the Grand. Look at the current pictures and you will see the mounts for chains to support an over the sidewalk marquee.

Trolleyguy commented about Movie theaters are bringing in audiences in record numbers on Apr 12, 2017 at 8:28 am

I started watching movies in theatres in the 40s. I remember those old seats and not fondly. Stadium seating was a big improvement. Now, the recliners are here and I love them. Comfortable, adjustable, good sight lines, reserved. What’s not to like?
