We, the undersigned fully support the continued operation of the Keno Drive-In as an operating outdoor theater located at 9102 Sheridan Road, within the Village of Pleasant Prairie, in the County of Kenosha, State of Wisconsin.
Mr. Mills, the Keno Drive-In has been in operation since the 1940's and is truly a historical icon to the Kenosha area as well the entire State of Wisconsin.
Presently there's only a select few remaining drive-in theaters in our area. The closest two drive-in theater's to the Kenosha area are the McHenry Outdoor Theatre in Illinois, and the Highway 18 Outdoor Theatre in Jefferson Wisconsin.
It is clearly understood, that you own the Keno Drive-in property for investment purposes. Whereas we the undersigned, duly request that you seriously consider renewing the lease with the present theater operator so that the Drive-In can remain operational during the presently needed conversion to a digital format.
As stated above, it is clearly known that you own the property for investment purposes. Whereas if the Keno Drive-In were allowed to remain operational, it can remain a profitable drive-in theater to provide many memories for the current generation of families & children, as it has for the generations over the past sixty plus years.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request.
Please keep the 66 year old icon. It has and CAN entertain generations for years to come. We do not need another Walmart. We have 3 within driving distance from Pleasant Prairie. They can revamp their old building in the city of Kenosha that has been sitting vacant for 7 years!
