[QUOTE="Animator_pin_fan, post: 32018, member: 96"] I think you sounded a bit more negative than was deserved, but hey, if that's what your impression of the place was, then you're entitled to your opinion. I can respect that here, even if I tend to agree with Molly 100%. Anyhow, I thought I'd also mention that if you're in that neck of the woods again, a couple miles away from Pins and Needles there's a bar called Blipsy's Barcade on Western Ave, and they've got a pretty sweet Twilight Zone table and very nice collection of vintage video games: [url]http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/blipsy-barcade-los-angeles?select=6WiaL6z1Gjohjh-VERIxew#2DTNqFGrk6gHWV_RR1vy2A[/url] And just down the way from there on Vermont Ave, there is also the Family Arcade aka Family Amusement Corporation (they sell vintage pinball and arcade machines in addition to running an open to the public arcade), where they have an entire row of Stern Pinball tables, in addition to the latest fighting & driving video games.
