FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) — Earlier this year, the city of Farmington Hills announced that a popular arcade in Oakland County would be demolished to make way for the renovation and expansion of a shopping center.
However, the future of the arcade is looking bright.
For decades, Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum has been a staple in Farmington Hills . It is known for its quirky style, antiques, and vintage games.
“We get people who come visit us from all over the world,” said owner Jeremy Yagoda.
Some of those first-time visitors include Onalee Sturgeon.
“We are definitely coming back here. We already decided…we’re going to get a jar, save our quarters, and come in,” Sturgeon said.
For Louis Morin, bringing his son to the place he himself created fond memories over the years.
“There’s something to be said about the collection that has been here. It’s just cool,” said Morin.
Several months ago, the city of Farmington Hills announced the arcade would be torn down for an overhaul of Hunter’s Square Shopping Center.
