The Kengun Arcade was attached to the Sunlive department store, and when that came down after the earthquake, so did the arcade. It took awhile to clear away the rubble of Sunlive (its replacement is expected to be complete by September), but in the meantime, restoration of the arcade supports and roofing was completed on Feb. 20. While local shop owners are happy that the arcade has been restored, they long for the return of their anchor store.
End of the trolley line, Mr. Donuts, funky old stores, and not far from the zoo and lower Lake Ezu - if you have a free afternoon, please visit! - William
