It needs more work. But how? It includes every detail. The C. Leader ( talk) 22:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
110 Westminster, mentioned in the final paragraph, has been scrapped (and many of us knew it would never happen anyway), so that should be deleted.
The Arcade continues to die as far as retail shops are concerned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.50.254 ( talk) 23:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
I've been shopping in the Arcade all my life, and never has there been a "scifi-fantasy" bookshop anywhere in the building. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.132.156 ( talk) 13:47, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
There was also a role playing game store there for about 20 years, and a bookstore in the late 80s. Perhaps the writer is confusing the two. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.51.224 ( talk) 23:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
The Arcade is gone. I've been there personally but if you editors who aren't from the area want proof of this then go to projo.com There are many stories about this. A recent one is here from May 7, 2009- http://www.projo.com/news/content/PROVIDENCE_MOST_ENDANGERED_05-07-09_OSE9DI2_v18.378c8de.html "PROVIDENCE — The Arcade, the downtown landmark that is credited as America’s first indoor mall, is being threatened, after it was shuttered last year in preparation for a major renovation of the mall’s interior, according to the Providence Preservation Society."
Btw other Projo articles stated that Johnson and Wales left the Arcade last year, which caused huge financial troubles as it was the greatest contributor of rent toward the buildings owners.
The Arcade is going to be renovated. The owners are looking for tenants. It could possibly remain as an indoor mall, but it could also end up being rented out by one company who wants to use the whole building.
I do hope they open it again. -- ( fi ) 03:54, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
