I was thinking Chicago
The Chicago area needs some good arcade I know of about 5 of then that shut down one of them reopened but the games there are in real bad shape and the people working don't want to fix them.

At gameworks the people working there don't seem to known how to fix / run pinball games and They once had RMF and later I think that charged it two a Star Wars EP1 but they did it wrong way and sound did not work it took them a year more maybe 2 years+ to update the rom to fix it. Look at Star Wars EP1 rom update notes for more info.

also they say that are not allowed to have the sound up on some games because of what the games say but I was at a other gameworks they have the same games with sound up.
