Sad indeed. Brings back happy memories though of my own childhood arcade in a room at the
local bowling alley. The arcade is long gone ... and the bowling alley is a Pathmark.
Mark my words ... if MARCH ever gets massive H-building space and a steady stream of
visitors, then there shall be a legit arcade room!!!
