Discovery Zone, Safari Sams, Q-ZAR, Dino Kingdom, Caddyshack, Wildwood Highlands, and Fun Fest (back when it had mini golf and then lazer tag) were some of the hot spots as a kid that were better versions of Chucky Cheese. Had to check if Seabase in Greensburg is still around and it is!

Monroeville Mall was glorious in the 90s. Had a massive arcade and some great stores like the candy store Icky, Sticky, & Goo, Disney Store, Warner Bros store, Natural Treasures, and the old bridge over the Koi pond on the lower level. That mall is absolutely depressing now. Holiday time there was magical.

Tons of great restaurants are now long gone...The O (of course), More's, Kazansky's, and Poli's were personal favorites.

Grew up when the Sheetz/Hotel area in Wilkins Twp was Showcase Cinemas and had the only place I could ever play thr Simpson's arcade game.

While Blockbuster was of course king, I remember Family Video in Churchill, West Coast Video (with a little carousel) in Penn Hills, and Suncoast Video at Monroeville Mall.

Kennywood had a banger arcade. Also Fastenation and Past Time were awesome ball games you could spend the entire day playing cause they cost a dime! Could even win some cool prizes.

Oh the peak Monroeville Mall! I remember it fondly… truly a shame that it has fallen from it’s heyday.

Icky, Sticky, & Goo wow forgot about that place! I’d always hit up rite aid for snacks because it was cheaper, but loved browsing there!
