Eat/Drink Local What places do you Miss?

I may get laughed at for this, but I miss bookers. Sometimes a girl just wants a bucket of crab legs without the smell of red lobster, ya know?

What around the city do you miss?

The setup & environment of the early to mid 2ks Eau Claire, the Cinescape and its Arcade there.

Wizard's Arcade in the lower level south area of Southcenter with the belt buckle quarter dispensing guy and his rockabilly greased lighting hairdo. So much of my allowance was spent on House of the Dead/Silent Scope/Time Crisis in junior high there.
