    There's a laneway up to the Corpo depot on one side, and an Oxfam shop on the other side.


    Do you mean shopping arcade, amusement arcade, or something else?

    There was a place near St. Mary's College called "The Leisure Centre" or similar.

    Opposite Domino's Pizza.

    Pool tables, arcade games, jukebox, etc.

    I used to go down there to play super shot soccer, banana shots and all that :) then up to Goodfellas (Richie's) and play mortal Kombat. Then gradually all the games were replaced with poker machines and that was the end of that.
