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.
