  • This property is now known as the River East Art Center. Development proposal calls for conversion of upper floors to loft condominiums.
  • This site was previously contained North Pier Mall. It contained several levels of restaurants and arcades. It closed in the mid 1990s. Home to the first Battletech (Mechwarrior by FASA)Center aka Virtual World.
  • Gosh, North Pier. I hadn't had thought about that in years, nor the Battletech Center and arcade that was inside this former mall! Man, I had a lot of memories going there, very long ago....
