[QUOTE="Zombie Aladdin, post: 143925, member: 4242"] I see. I very rarely go into bars or pubs as I am a teetotaler (very low alcohol tolerance in my family), but I can see the social aspect in those locations. I also wasn't too sure what you meant by "antiseptic"; as you were relating it to changes brought about by parents scared of child predators, I thought you meant that places like Chuck E. Cheese's made sure to give off as much of a clean, family-friendly image as possible. Thanks for the clarification. Do you mean that in Chicago, pinball tends to be a bar thing and not an arcade thing; or do you simply mean that you chose to play pinball in bars? It made me wonder--if the former is true, then that environment must radically shape the mindset of pinball makers in Chicago. If the Los Angeles locations I've visited are any indication, pinball here is and has always been an arcade thing, as pinball is considered a children's game here by the mainstream. [/QUOTE]
