DC Pinball Museum to close...

[Spunkmeyer]

I wasn't even aware it existed! I would have checked it out while I was in DC last week.

"Just five months after opening its doors to delighted pinheads and wizards across the D.C. region, Georgetown's National Pinball Museum is being forced to close."

I've been in that high end mall and it doesn't surprise me they probably got another renter paying more than him. He just needs a new location maybe Watergate?

Sorry, KLOV Police Officer, I never even knew that KLOV sub-forum existed...

At any rate there are enough DC metro users to make this a more high-profile story than it would find buried down there.

This is nothing new. Malls do this with "licensing agreements" all the time, happened with one of our arcade last year.

Yeah, I saw that too... I've been trying to get there one of these days, but it looks like I'm gonna have to go sooner than later. But ugh... I hate everything about going to downtown DC. :/
