M Q , a: azt- <br />Page 84 <br />— a -o -�t1 <br />Falcon Heights <br />game and pool <br />arcade will close <br />�..I's Pool and Game Arcade in <br />.Falcon Heights will close March 1, <br />owners Jim and Joe Sacco told the <br />Falcon Heights City Council last <br />week. <br />City officials had asked the own- <br />; "ers to put two uniformed security <br />• guards on duty at night, one inside, <br />the other patrolling the rear park- <br />ing lot, because nine of the city's 19 <br />police calls for assaults in 1990 had <br />been calls to J.J.'s. Jim Sacco said <br />the arcade could not afford two <br />guards. <br />J.J's has been open for two years <br />in the Northome Center at 1544 W. <br />Larpenteur Ave., drawing two or <br />three, dozen customers nightly to <br />its five pool tables and 25 video <br />games. <br />"This type of operation causes <br />too many problems," Sacco said af- <br />ter the meeting. "You find a lot of <br />loitering with video games. A few <br />bad apples cause the problems for <br />the good apples." • <br />—He said part of the problem <br />stemmed from the location of the <br />parking lot behind the building. <br />■ <br />
