Current Events > Is there an arcade around where you live?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like a classic arcade? And do you go?

We have one in Houston, maybe two.

I think the last one I knew of was bulldozed to build apartments.

There's a whole row of them on the seafront a half mile from my house.

They don't do games like they used to though, it's all grab machines and tipping point ones.

See we got this one. It's a bad ass place.

Yeah there are at least four near me. One of them is three blocks down the road. Its also a full bar.

Yeah, there's a barcade a few miles away I go to every once in awhile. It's where I met my wife.

They've got a wall with classic 80s arcade games, another side with fighting games, and modern consoles set up around.

Bunch of barcades around me. One is actually a full blown arcade. That allows drinking in the evenings.

The bowling alley near me has a traditional one and the new water park has one mostly geared towards ticket redemption junk. Other than that the movie theater has a few machines.

There are a couple at Lake George.
One still has a shooting Gallery, which has been there foreverrr..
Also, without looking up the hint, check out the team signs above and guess the state.
~I kinda just noticed it.

The fact that you said Lake George and there's a Cuse symbol has me thinking New York.

In like 2010ish, an arcade opened up in the new strip mall across from the sub division entrance. It was in a really good location. But it only lasted like 6 months. I wanted to go in but they had a slogan under the name that said "where a kid can be a kid".....minus um...legal branding issue with Chuck E. Cheese, being a mid 20's adult I felt like I wasn't welcomed. So I never went in. Kind of sucked because I always wanted an arcade down the street from me.

He ya, you would get it. ((I shouldn't have left the hint))
Funny though with The Red Sox, The Rafters, and The Patriots, you might think it's somewhere else.
I would say, it is the exact point where North Eastern NY, becomes New England and South Canada.
~And in fact, it is on Canada Street.

If you've ever been there you probably saw that Shooting Gallery.
It's a fun town, and a World Class Lake.

I'm about 20 minutes away from Galloping Ghost

Theres an arcade bar but its not got a fantastic selection.

Theres loads of places where people pay by the hour to play a PS5 though.
