Oh man! You're OLD! I suppose you went there when the before the Market got the new fronting....
I can't remember the name of the other arcade though, there used to be two along that stretch. Other places to shop, Encore records (when it was on King), Natural Sound Shop (in the old, old Eaton's where the condo's are, and the attempt make something better on the ground floor)...there were some pretty good shops at Market Square too, though I cannot remember a heck of at King Centre, I think we were too busy going into the maze at King Centre and having security chase us every day.
Apparently older than you. It was before King Centre. Eaton's was still at Market Square, I remember going to their electronics department to see the new Commodore PET, so that can tell you when it was!
Natural Sound Shop was around in the late 70s already, IIRC, as was Wesseling Advanced Audio (where the organic store is now on Charles at Queen).
