Video Game Arcades? Sweet Jesus, does THAT bring back memories. row upon row of game cabinets of classic games most of which i would bet half of the posters in here have never played much less seen.
i spent several pocket fulls of quarters in those places when quarters meant real money in those days.
the last one in my region of the world closed up shop in the mid '90's. The growing internet and then exploding home gaming platforms doomed the old Arcade shop to the dust bins of history.
if there are any Arcades left in the USA, i bet you could count them on your own fingers of those left in operation.
that one near you is likely a rare relic and the large population of the area you live in Miss Emma is what is keeping it open. knowing what economic condition and over bearing regulation CA has, it might not last all that long either. go take pics of it and burn it's memory into your mind as best as you can, it might not be around much longer.
