People didn’t stop going to the movies during the COVID-19 pandemic. With indoor theatres closed, drive-ins experienced an unexpected surge in attendance due to the already socially-distanced nature of the business, and accounted for the entire U.S. box office take for months.
Naturally, Ciné began thinking about how they could set up one of their own, but the logistics of doing so while maintaining the quality experience patrons of the downtown Athens nonprofit theatre had come to expect over the past 14 years presented a challenge.
Beginning Tuesday, June 1, the public will be able to pull into the parking lot of the old General Time/Westclox building at 100 Newton Bridge Road and safely enjoy the Ciné Drive-In, a weekly event that will feature food trucks, refreshments and the familiar faces of Ciné staff running the show.
In a Tuesday evening Athens-Clarke County Mayor and Commission regular session, Jessica Reynolds presented the commission with news that the city of Athens is now the newest 2021 Georgia Exceptional Main Street community.
Reynolds is the director for the Office of Downtown Development at the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, which manages the Georgia Main Street Program. Downtown Athens will receive a gateway sign that will read âWelcome to Downtown Athens, A Georgia Exceptional Main Street City.â
Reynolds gave credit to the Athens Downtown Development Authorityâs âcommitment to excellence and stable leadership.â She said over the past three years, downtown Athens has seen $118 million in both public and private investment.
COVID response update
The data, presented by ACC Manager Blaine Williams, showed an overall decline in new COVID-19 infection rates since February in Clarke County and among ACC government employees, consistent with state and nationwide numbers.
Williams said over 250 ACC employees in the tier 1A+ category for vaccine priority, which includes first responders and people over 65, have now been vaccinated.
District 3 Commissioner Melissa Link asked Williams if any county employees were hesitant to receive the vaccine, and asked if the county could require its eligible employees to receive it. Williams said itâs likely that not all eligible county employees have taken it since the county cannot require them to be vaccinated.
