THAT IS AWESOME!

Too bad they didn't make it an actual arcade, that would be awesome. Maybe as a promotion for the new film, Disney will purchase that building and actually create the Arcade.

Wishful thinking!

Actually, when you think about it, the arcade industry seems to slightly be on the rise today. I'll go to some local buffet (spelling?)/arcade in my town on any Saturday and it is packed! Unfortunatly, most people who go to arcades today are mostly nostalgic people who need a trip down memory lane (which there is absolutely nothing wrong with, in case I made that sound bad.. ), and the only younger children I see there are usually there because their parents dragged 'em along. The last time I went to 1984 in Springfeild, MO, a lot of young children there literally had no idea what they were doing.

Of course there was that one kid who was trying to "kill the games" because they wouldn't "talk to him".

Anyways back on topic, is it an abandoned building? The views I saw of it indicated that pretty clearly.

Really cool pics. I don't know if Google should get full credit for it, though. I first saw this sort of "street side mapping" thing being done on a9.com. I think that search tool, a9.com, was a spinoff from Amazon or something. They were trying to map major cities street-side by taking snaphot after snapshot of storefronts as they drove through town. They were pretty static images... just photographs from both sides of a car or van that was driving on the city streets. Looks like Google took it a nice step farther. A9.com gave up on their street-side mapping, as I recall. Looks like Google has enhanced things a bit by having the rotational 360-degree camera thing. I like it!


I'm getting out of here right now, and you guys are invited. -----^

The last I heard, the building that was used as Flynn's Arcade now contains a restaurant.

Also, the building has apparently been declared an historic landmark. So it won't disappear any time soon.

Yeah, the building is Culver City's first hospital and was built by a Dr. Foster Hull in 1925 and is now known as the Hull building.

It seems the building is now up and running as "Akasha", a fancy restaurant that opened in February 2008.

It was recently featured in a TV show called Flip that Restaurant, or something like that. I have it on my DVR waiting to be dumped to MPG.

they gutted it and completely rebuilt the inside. It was kind of neat to see the exposed interior.

There are a lot of pics over at my photo gallery.

Hey I'd like to see that mpg of Flip that Restaurant, is it online anywhere?

I normally don't like those shows but if it has Flynn's arcade on it, I would have to make an exception.

At one point in my life I looked into having a huge mural air painted of the Space Paranoids billboard, but that never panned out for me.

Maybe some day.

Someone should go there and demand from the management that they put up a tremendous sized FLYNN'S poster on the wall.

I'll bet they dont know the history of their site.

If they ask why they should put up the poster, just tell them:

"Because man!!! Somewhere, in one of these...memories...is the evidence! If I got in far enough, I could reconstruct it!!!"

Probably no one would get the reference though
Whenever I make a TRON reference and somone reognizes it, it goes something like this:
Me: You've seen TRON???
Person: That movie with electronic motorcycles?
Me: Yeah
Person: Yeah
Me: Did you like it?
Person. It was alright
Me: You're my new best friend
