Located on Highway 93, this one time boom town for mining had a population of 27,000 in the late 1920's.

Today's population has dwindled to about 900 according to the folks at the local gas station.

The Gem has survived all of these years. It's a wooden structure just off the main street(business 93). This is quite an interesting town if you are into old ghost/mining areas!

Sadly, the Gem Theatre was closed in 2002, it was an independently operated, second-run movie theatre.

The sister theatre of the GEM is the GlOBE in Globe, Arizona. They were built by the same person.

The Gem has been closed for over 4 years, due to a bad wind storm. The 2 brothers who own it, can't decide on when or why to reopen it! We're stuck here with out any theater.. Nice..NOT

Here is a 2008 photo. It still looks closed. The status should be changed accordingly.
