Ah, they just lent their name, games and merchandise as prizes for advertising purposes. Oh and make sure only thier games are used at Pin Expo Main tourney. Sounds like they own it to me. Time to wack some life weeds.

That is a completely invalid characterization of the tournament that Trent has run at Pinball Expo for many years. Your statement has zero credibility.

I got to meet you briefly at the Mezel Mods booth at TPF. I didn’t have much time, but I wanted to thank you for all the time and effort you put into creating this. It’s really great work you’re doing.

I saw there’s a Top 10 list using data from Pinball Map. Definitely the best choice of sources, but bear in mind that the maps themselves are not necessarily specific to whatever they’re called. For instance, the Los Angeles one also includes the nearby counties (including Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Santa Barbara, but NOT Kern, as that’s under the Bakersfield map). Rather, I think it’s based on what administrators are available and the areas they’ve agreed to cover.

I can speak for the L.A. map as that’s the region I live in–the majority of them are actually in San Bernardino and Orange counties (especially so if you count the Museum of Pinball). L.A. has a number of great locations too, but it is basically the Asteroid Belt of pinball communities, as nothing ever coalesced into a cohesive whole: Places like 82, AYCE Gogi, Family Arcade, Neon Retro Arcade (both of them), and that new place that popped up in Burbank have excellent, dedicated operators and vibrant, fun scenes and events, but for the most part, the metropolitan area’s public pinball is geographically incredibly diffuse and scattered, with random locations in various places with one machine each and lots of dead zones. (I live in the northern San Fernando Valley, which is one of those dead zones save for a single taquería.)

What place is this?

135

Honestly, I’ve forgotten–I remember Stern’s social media was talking about it a couple of months ago, and it was about to open. All I can recall is that it was near that place in Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives that specializes in chili. I haven’t visited it myself, however.

I’ll have to ask the person who told me about it, as I didn’t really keep any records of it myself, nor do I remember which social media platform it was on.

136

Walt’s Bar if I were guessing.

137

Think that’s in eagle rock and all old games

138

Yeah
 no idea then.
