Reply to comment by realbadaccountant in The Arcade - Providence RI. Said to be the oldest shopping mall in America. Only a couple downstairs storefronts were occupied. by quinntronix

Free Play is an 8 minute walk from The Arcade.

It took nearly that long to get from Showcase to Tilt (by foot) prior to the flood of the Warwick Mall.

Coming off the top rope with the Tilt reference. Will have to check out Free Play. Thanks

Tilt (and Aladdins Castle) was where I spent most my High School days. Then TGA. None of these are around anymore…

It’s a barcade though, 21+ except on family days (which seem to be every-other Sunday).

Take the kids to D&B, which is still only ~15 minute walk from The Arcade.

Our boy is 14 months old and he’s already probably been to too many pubs. Saving this for a date night.

Is that where Caldor was?

I remember a lot of drives up and down Rt2 and Garden City when I was a kid. Usually CompUSA (Where hobby lobby is now), Lechmere (where Target is now), Tweeter (where Lumber Liquidators is now), and Circuit City (I think now Container Store).

I remember that Seekonk Caldor, I think, was where Target is now …and I feel like there was a Warwick Caldor, but I can’t place where.

Caldor was in the Warwick Mall where Jordan's Furniture is now!
