Arcades Map

Inspired by hearing of a new one opening in Uptown soon, and as an obsessed collector of bike route related datasets, I've just built a map of all area arcades and barcades. I've been to all of them, so it wasn't too hard. Figured some of y'all might like. Feedback/additions/corrections/etc welcome.

Back in 2012 I did similar for photobooths, then ported it to massup.us so you can find the ones nearest you in a single tap: http://massup.us/photobooth

Arcades is a good candidate for similar porting as a massup layer, eventually.

Cool, others also mentioned Galloping Ghost. I've made sure it's on the map and added a blurb: "One of the Largest Arcades in the World! $15 all day play. Website lists hundreds of games. Near Metra BNSF Congress Park stop."

Such a privilege to live in a city grand enough to have among the world's largest arcades. One of just a few I haven't visited, along with Whirlyball and FTW.
