no pinball

I can't see a barcade going too long before introducing some pins.

Either way, It's a great start for that sort of thing.

There's bylaws against having more than 2 or 3 pins in a location - they'd need to get a special exception.

That's part of the reason that pinball cafe in Parkdale failed, although that was mostly because he lacked a business license.

 

[tim.sanderson]

It doesn't seem to be a problem for 3030.

 

[fantasygoat]

Maybe they got the exception?

Might also be a Parkdale-specific thing.

 

[tim.sanderson]

Yeah, not sure what they did to get an exception, but in any case I hope it works for other places like this, too!
