My first job was being a gopher there at the age of 15, yeah, nothing like  being a target on the  driving range.

Most of the pay went back into the machines that summer

My buddy knows the place well.  He has friends who were bouncers there years ago, and said fights were a nightly occurence. 

He suspects the arcade games will be beat to hell, as everything else there is been up-ended many times.

I'm still going to swing buy and check it out though Ray. biggrin  Thanks for posting!

Just a thought here? but don't most bars/restaurants get their arcade equipment, pool tables and such from a vendor? and not necessarily OWN them ? at least that is the way it is in most places in WI?

maybe this guys is selling stuff that doesn't belong to him???

just a thought?
