6 vanished Sacramento landmarks reshape the city's memory

Stories by Sacramento Bee journalists, with AI summarization Sacramento's cityscape has shifted as famed sites like the original Tower Records building make way for modern developments such as new five-story apartment complexes with retail space. The beloved Capital Athletic Club downtown now hums to fresh life as the Capital YMCA, offering renovated facilities and attracting former and new members alike. Grand movie theaters like the Alhambra and Fox Senator once drew crowds but have largely vanished, replaced by office towers and housing, while only a few, like the Tower Theatre and Crest Theatre, continue to operate. The closure of downtown staples such as the Macy's department store and the uncertain future of landmarks like the Renaissance Tower and the Sacramento Zoo's relocation plans reveal ongoing debates about how Sacramento balances its historic legacy with changing economic demands and community needs. Each vanished landmark leaves memories and influences decisions about what the city will become next.
