The Slice

Closed Spokane movie theaters

I was making a mental list of all the movie theaters that have closed since I moved to Spokane in the 1980s.

Sure there are lots of new mall-based screens, too. But the list of disappeared cineplexes is pretty long: Newport highway, Lyons, the one on North Division, the one behind that shopping center off 29th, the one out in the Valley, and so on.

So anyway, here's my question. If you could count up all the movies you have seen in Spokane theaters, would it turn out that a majority of your film-going experiences have been at movie houses that no longer exist?
