Nice, even closer to me. Thanks for being such a supporter of the San Diego pinball scene, Zach. I'm looking forward to the new location.

Right now it looks likes early to mid July, but that could easily change if any part of the build gets delayed.

I'm not sure if they've worked out the final hours yet. The new place has a cafe so they very well may open for lunch in the winter.

It looks like the opening has moved back a couple of days to the 18th. It's possible that it could slip a little beyond that depending on how things go. The Nickel City facebook page should have the most up to date information.

The new place looks amazing! I was just there tonight dropping off pins.

Yes, and the place is just amazing. The owners did a fantastic job setting up the new location.

We have space for 10 pins however, I've been so busy with setting up the video games and a few other tasks that I haven't finished the pinball lineup yet. There are currently six pins WOZLE, Tron, TSPP, South Park, IJ4, and LW3.

I'll be bringing in more pins very soon to finish the lineup. In the meantime I just updated WOZ to 4.0 and there's a lot of really cool additions to the game. Come on in and check it out.

Went there yesterday on the way back from San Diego. Nice, clean, and fun! I'm not into redemption, but I'll have to admit there was quite a selection of redemption games, several I've never seen before. Got to play some vids I haven't played in years (spent a lot of nickels on Rush 2049!). ... oh yeah, there were pins to!
