The arcades of today may be disappearing, but the arcades of yesterday
are actually on the rise. We have 3 here already in Pittsburgh with a
lot of the original arcades, digital _and_mechanical, including
pinballs, bowlers, baseball and shooting arcades. There's a few cities
with some more, I haven't cataloged them all yet.
