Arcadia Ii

Arcadia II was an arcade located inside the College Square Mall, which opened in 1969. By the early 1980s, an arcade at this location had become a popular hangout for local youth, described as a quintessential “dark, smokey, hole in the wall” of the era. A 1990 directory of amusement operators officially records the venue’s name as Arcadia II, confirming its existence within the mall. The space was a destination for playing popular video games of the time, such as *Galaga*, *Spy Hunter*, and *Tempest*. This venue is now permanently closed, sharing the fate of many similar mall arcades from that period.
