Originally Posted By cheesybaby ^Yes, there are entrances from BVS for all these locations. The "arcade" is the entire strip of stores itself, so there is no entrance from the arcade into a store. If you are in the arcade you are already in the store.

And the Arcade does not run through Kingswell Camera or Clarabelle's Ice Cream. Julius Katz, Atwater Ink and Paint, and Trolley Treats, which are directly connected by the Elysian Arcade, all have entrances from Buena Vista Street. Clarabelle's has a separate entrance on the Carthay Circle, as well as an interior connection to the Fiddler, Fifer and Practical cafe.

Originally Posted By tonyanton Great! Thank you! This is similar to how the arcades on Main Street in Paris work. Cool that they incorporated it for BVS. It would be cool if they added something like this to the east side of Main Street at DL (have the entrance be the old coffee house frontage. I don't think DL has enough space on the west side of Main Street.

One of the original complaints about DCA was the lack of shade and places to sit. Now you have places to sit in the shade.
