Two Duluth Theaters on Brink of Closure

Two historic Duluth theaters, the West and the Alhambra, are on the brink of closure after years of painstaking restoration costing over two million dollars. Spearheaded by Bob Boone, these cultural landmarks have become vital community hubs for film and live performances — but now face financial collapse due to pandemic fallout, loan defaults, and a legal battle over Boone’s lost ownership. Operating without pay, Boone fights to save the theaters he poured his heart into, as preservationists and locals rally behind them amid the city’s broader challenge of maintaining its historic architecture.
