Could you let me know if this is something you may consider discussing (either formally or informally?). Many thanks Hi Leonie

Then I went on to become the GM of WAYTCO until June 2008. I miss the shop and the lovely people I met through it very much and was devastated to find it closed one day when I walked over to Rechabites Hall for a meeting. I still run into favourite customers and enjoy catching up with them very much. Kind regards to all who ever shopped at Arcane.

The then owner Leonie Debnam looks to have given up the shop in 2004 to pursue a career as General Manager of Western Australian Youth Theatre Company.

It must either shutdown then or have gone downhill very fast under new owners.

Driving past I had noticed a steady decline, though, and one day it was all boarded up and just gone. We haven’t been spending much time in Northbridge over the last few years so I can’t say.

I noticed it was no longer a few weeks back ... that corner on William Street looks empty now. When did the Arcane close?
