Arcade and showboat bookstores in Louisville are now $10 to enter. The ten bucks gives you access to the booths and the theatre. It's nowhere active like they used to be before there was a fee to go to the booth areas. There are a couple of booths that have become "unboarded" but they quickly get boarded up when an inspection is about to occur.
Not sure about the other area book stores in Louisville. At Theatre X in Clarksville Indiana you still see the same folks in there that were there years ago with a sprinkle of new faces every now and then. It really seems to have become clickish and alot of guys hang out in groups in the halls and conversate. Go figure. All the holes are still there.
