Forest Fair Mall was once one of the coolest malls in America. Today, most of it sits abandoned—but somehow, there was still a video game store open inside.
We explored the nearly empty mall and visited Arcade Legacy, an incredible retro game store and arcade hidden inside this massive dead mall. But during the trip, we discovered some surprising news about the future of Forest Fair Mall—and our visit to Arcade Legacy didn’t end where we expected.
Come with me as we explore one of the strangest malls I’ve ever visited, hunt for video games, and see where Arcade Legacy ended up next.
