Oddly, the light well that extends from the second floor up was closed yesterday evening for painting, though it had been open back on the 12th:

Also, Legacy Chocolates has opened up in the skyway level, across the lobby from Revival Wine & Spirits.
Indeed it did. When I was a kid in the 90s, I remember my mom taking me to the Credit Union located in this arcade prior to it moving to the first floor of Galtier Plaza (now since relocated to the skyway of Galtier). There was also the Post Office (closed in 2008 right before the RNC), a restaurant (not sure when this closed), and a convenience store (closed in 2008 right before the RNC). There was a brouhaha about their closings because they were essentially forced out when the buildings were purchased by the same owner of First National Bank building. I remember some people blaming Republicans for closing the stores for nefarious RNC plans.The first-floor arcade was open when I passed through yesterday evening. I assume this had once housed shops, and it would be nice if some businesses tried to go in there again. The area with the stained-glass ceiling is actually an "L" shape -- it turns the corner at the far end.
If as you say those store fronts are now apartment then that might be the case when things are closed off. Again just speculation on my part.Indeed it did.

The section of arcade that does not have this stained glass ceiling is closed and locked. I'm not sure why - its smack dab between Hat Trick and a small mini market. It would provide great connectivity to the street.
