Here's a streetview from 2012.
There's no info that I could find on what the plans are for the lot now, or who owns it. The building that once housed the arcade and concessions is now a pile of rubble. I'm not a betting man, but given what's surrounding, I'd say there's a giant, underwhelming likelihood that this will become (a) a restaurant / fast food joint, (b) a bank or credit union, or (c) an auto parts store. Or maybe a skyscraper  |
Well I wasn't about to get my hopes up for anything remarkable, and that's good, because it looks like this will be a used car dealership
