    I realize a number of pinball locations are already feeling the impact of shutdowns, including Chicago's own Logan Arcade. The machines and staff at the location are great, I'm proud to call Melissa a friend and appreciate her support for the charity. I wanted to share if you'd be interested in helping out.

    If you aren't in the area or never have been, they've hosted a number of live streams you may have seen. Thanks for taking the time to read the post.

    Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:

    isn't tomorrow the first day for the bars to close?

    As of Monday night per the governor they are closed and saying for now at least until March 30th.

    Quoted from Brtlkat:

    Could they not raise the money needed ( if its needed by the owner) by selling 2 of those pinball machines to regain the 10k trying to be raised? Sorry but I see a lot of money in pinball machines there.

    I imagine that could be an option, I don't know the specifics of their business and just wanted to share the link to those who might want to take a look. My willingness to help the business is based on personal experience.

    Quoted from hoby1:

    So let me get this straight...... The guy has 150k worth of games and you want people to pay his wages because tough financial times have just started to hit.
    Sell games , honestly there are way more people struggling that don't have this kind of disposable $$$$$$ coin laying around,
    Sorry but thats my feelings on this subject. Help the folks that can't buy food.

    It was initiated by the general manager, the owner is making adjustments including selling games. I apologize if my post appeared to be soliciting sympatahy for the location. I wanted to present the information, as there is a lot going on in terms of Chicago Service Relief:

    I don't know how many of these locations have assets that can be liquidated for temporary relief. I've heard the same is going on in other cities. And I agree, being willing and able to help those in need in any way possible is a great idea. Also many don't think to volunteer time at food pantries, I have found that to be rewarding. I appreciate you reading the thread and offering some honest opinions. Thanks.
