Totem Theater Demolished: Anchorage Loses Iconic Cinema

0:00It's March 24th. Anchorage News Today starts now. AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. Anchorage locals washed as the historic Totem Theater on Muldoon Road met the wrecking ball this Monday. The spot had a long run first as a drive-in theater, then as an indoor cinema for decades, but falling attendance spelled the end. People in the neighborhood are sharing fond memories of movie nights there, feeling the loss of a community landmark. While a bigger theater sits nearby, many say nothing quite matches the old Totem Charm. With the demolition wrapped up, that chapter of Anchorage Entertainment history closes for good.
