That's saddening, that store/museum looks fantastic. It's hilarious how many American cities actually banned arcades in the 40s because they were to believed to be run by organized crime. Reminds me of what my parents told me when they didn't allow me to go into arcades as a kid. They thought they were full of gangsters and drug dealers.

A great cover for bad guys...a cash business that was hard to "hear" into.
