Cyberstation: Mall St. Matthews

Mall St. Matthews opened in 1962 and remains one of Louisville’s busiest shopping destinations. By the late 1990s, a Cyberstation arcade near the Dillard’s wing drew teens for Tekken Tag, Time Crisis II, and redemption-ticket prizes. Weekend “Token Tornado” promos—advertised on in-mall posters—kept the space packed through the early 2010s.
