Not trying to bash on the person/cab. But, I find it funny how they talk about "minty" it is, then go on to talk about modifications made (like El Wire). Does look nice though.

I was thinking the same thing.. Which is it, in mint condition or modified condition?

I was born in St. Paul, but that is a 16 hour drive now.. lol

The cabinet is awesome, but the game is just "meh"...

I always took 'mint' to refer to an items condition, rather than how original it is.  :dunno

"mint" comes from coin condition, meaning it is as good as the day it came off the mint.  If this cab was as good as the day it came off the "mint", it wouldn't be modified, it would be original.  But that is just mincing words I guess..  :blah:

No Kidding? Inver Grove Heights ain't even that big of a place. I'm just north of the golf course. :cheers: It has only been a month, but I've been loving it so far. Any good places to go to? I have been mostly just getting cheesesteaks at J's.  ;D

Yep..Downgraded from a house and just moved in the Blackberry Pointe apartments on Upper 55th.  I've only been there a few months myself.  If you like pizza, you have to try Old World Pizza by B52s and the theater.  REALLY good pizza.  They have a buffet that is awesome..but deadly.

Not trying to hijack a thread...but as a fellow Minnesotan (I'm in central Minnesota but come to the TC pretty often) any classic arcades you guys would recommend? The only real one I knew left was Rusty Quarters which closed.

Its good to see some fellow Grovers and Minnesotans here.  :cheers:

I think you are probably only about 5 minutes from me.

Thanks for the tip. I am looking at their menu now.

There is the Blainbrook Bowling Alley. It is not such a hotspot for arcades, but it is top notch for pinball. I'd say they probably have 50+ pinball machines, as well as a few racing cabs and other random machines. Sometimes they are put the machines on free play. I don't know how their reasoning of when they put them on freeplay, but last time I went there I lucked out. I spent about 6 hours playing machines and only spent about $10, and that was on food and drinks alone.
