Are there any historical pictures of the old video arcade at Union Station?

I don't understand why they would only run this till January 4th, less than a month into winter.BlogTO seems to have got it about right (for a change). Here is The Star.

Free outdoor skating rink coming to Union Station this holiday season | The Star
Rink will offer free skate and helmet rentals, as well as free skating lessons.www.thestar.com
I like games as much as the next person but ick. Doesn't exactly scream modern, especially Amuse-O-Matic. Happy this went into the night. Maybe we can replace it with something a little more modern in the future.(long time reader, first time poster!)
I think this might be your best bet - 2011?

I believe the Oak Room and later the York Pioneer restaurant are what you are thinking of both in the west wing.Remember that arcade well, as well as the bars: Commuters, Choo's Choo's and there was one more on street level, I *think* near where the UPX terminal is now.
I've used Union on and off for various purposes since the late 80's, we forget it was a real dank, dismal place *far* before the renovation.
Looking goodMy train dropped me off on platform 24 oday so I took this picture looking north from just west of the bay teamway

Was York Pioneer what became Steak and Burger? Or what became of it? I know that chain was in there for a bit; I remember eating there in my early teens.I believe the Oak Room and later the York Pioneer restaurant are what you are thinking of both in the west wing.
Otherwise the Skywalk Galleria had shops including a hokey pizza shop.
Not quite sure. The York Pioneer was on the north side of the west wing.Was York Pioneer what became Steak and Burger? Or what became of it? I know that chain was in there for a bit; I remember eating there in my early teens.
They also seem to close their outdoor food market months too early each summer too.I don't understand why they would only run this till January 4th, less than a month into winter.
