On the left is the Alaska Center for Performing Arts. Built in 1988, it houses a concert hall, an event hall, and two theaters. One is named after Sydney Laurence, an Alaskan landscape painter. His ghost is reported to be a frequent guest in the building. In the foreground is Town Square which attracts ice skaters in the winter and skateboarders in the summer, plus annual events at Christmas, New Year’s Eve and public concerts. On the right is the Key Bank Plaza building.
