Yeah.  I hear that a lot and I wonder where they are.  You guy still have cobblers with shops in cities but arcades are gone.  It's weird.

When I lived in Sydney a decade ago, very close to downtown there was an arcade or two that were huge, two-story affairs.  They're probably gone, too.

It's just England.  That's just how it is.  I've taken a shoe or two to a cobbler, and they always fixed 'em up new.  An arcade has done nothing except micro-transaction me out of all my money.

Well, originally there was this:

http://www.arcadelocations.net/

But, like anything, it depends on those local to submit changes. I've submitted a few over the years. Then, of course, it needs to be crewed so the submissions get entered. Of course, if site traffic is low, the person might not bother. Etc.
