I can see why your grandparents did that, as it it cheaper not stopping until you have to, Me, well between winter coming, and this corona thing I am just moving fast, and skating hard when I stop. There are alot if things I would like to see, The most recent is vermont, the whole state is not what I expected, and has the look of black sand and mountains (Yes gold) Jenn should have brought a pan😬...Bobby, I grew up in the glory days of arcades, and have watched the steady decline over the years, there may still be a couple machines in the wild, but since the 90s and home consoles, more recently the cell phone, and finally corona virus, I would have to say the arcade is officially dead...I do have a triple digit collection back at the house however, far more machines than anything I am seeing out on the road...Secretly Jenn looks at C/list in the night looking for good deals, but not seeing much of that really either.

Galloping Ghost in Chicago has over 700 machines. A little over an hour from my house. https://www.gallopingghostarcade.com/

The Underground Retrocade has like 200 games. 30 minutes from my house. https://undergroundretrocade.com/

There are smaller arcades and barcades dotted all over the county. There are also collectors like me that actually let people come and play games in their real collections.

Unlike your games, there is actual photographic evidence that these places exist. Again, one pic of you in your massive collection of games would be nice.

In your skateboard thread you have taken plenty of pictures of road signs.

Do you know what is missing? A single pic of you on a skateboard in one of these fascinating places.

In all of your aimless zigzagging across the country did you think about making even one human connection?

We have members all over the country. Make some contacts.

It is possible to meet people even while observing COVID 19 safety measures.

You obviously are living in a bubble, since these machines were predominantly manufactured in the Chicago area, ya cheap monitors, arcades everywhere, whatever, Not the case elsewhere, and even more difficult over the pond, where choices are far and few...My friends know Jenn as someone who DOES NOT LIE, someone who if she says she has a triple digit collection you can take that to the bank, And somebody who understands the physical construction of a machine far beyond what you can only dream...I regress however, this is a skateboard thread, Jenn can barely skate at all, and was only documenting the state signs since I cant film myself skatboarding and worried about falling on my phone even if I tried...This thread is over, (Sorry to those that were having fun😒) But rest assured Jennifer will skate your state.
