Coolest & creepiest abandoned arcade

This was posted yesterday by someone in my FB groups who was travelling though.
It's Castle Arcade in Blacksburg, South Carolina.
It's been abandoned forever, and has a For Sale sign on it. She also said there were homeless people living inside too ;-)

This place must have been the coolest hang-out back int he day. I can just imagine being a kid and my parents dropping me off out from and seeing this epic entrance

The fog is a nice touch too!

From what I read this wasn't a arcade. But was a video gambling place. That was open for roughly a year. Before legal trouble.

Video gambling? Like "I bet you $20 I can beat your score in Dig Dug?" or like "Gee, let's place some bets on Cherry Master?"

You can tell from looking at one of the pictures that the white brick used to construct the castle is very new (sort of like the stuff they use on modern strip malls and business parks).

Also - the dude in the first pic is either really short, or that building is incredibly tall.....
