You'd get the same offers in the Southern Fun arcade. Mega sketchy place. But I enjoyed going down there and playing some pin and having my lunch at that diner.
It wasn't THAT dangerous but for a teen it felt like living on the edge.
Another great downtown spot was the old Video & Sound on centre. It had the biggest selection for years - and was the go to place for any niche movie that you couldn't get elsewhere.
