The turnout for Friday's Urban Night tours exceeded expectations. Approximately 2500 people waited patiently in a thick line that extended around the corner. Groups of 15-20 were led though the rotunda area and past the arcade by tour guides who shared their knowledge and memories of the Arcade complex. Participants shared their own memories and hopes for its future redevelopment. Those who were seeing the Arcade for the first time were amazed by its beauty and, like its past patrons, disdained by its neglect. The small donation boxes overflowed and orders were taken for merchandise that sold out. All pledge forms were snatched up, but a printable copy is available at the bottom of this page. Watch this site and view all of its pages for further updates and developments.
