Apparently less people want to. It was the only state to lose population according to the 2010 census. Although I think Upper Michigan is where it is at! Screw the southern part.

I've been to the Pyramid club a few times and have to say the pins they have are all kept up and playing nice. Also a plus that there's a bar and concert hall in the same venue to partake in. Did I mention that the location is right smack in the middle of a great downtown scene? +1...

I still haven't been there?! It's only 30min away. I'm going this weekend for sure.

I usually go down to Klassic arcade in Gobles: It's a really awesome retro arcade with lots of pins.

Been a lot longer than that. Didn't we have the highest college graduate leaving the state percentage since about 2000

It's funny that you mention that. My wife and I are currently house hunting for a vacation home in St. Joseph. Amazing beach there.

Quoted from Matt_johnson:
The Pyramid Scheme In Grand Rapids Mi. apparently now has 50 pins. At least I'm assuming they have these pins currently. I knew they had a dozen or so but not 50!

Actually, we have 17 machines at the Pyramid Scheme. They include:

Attack from Mars, Avatar, Bride of Pinbot, Cirqus Voltaire, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Getaway: High Speed 2, Iron Man, Judge Dredd, Jurassic Park, Medieval Madness, Simpsons Pinball Party, Star Wars, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Terminator 2, Twilight Zone and WHO dunnit,

The 50 machines you are referring to are for the Pyramid Pinball event that we are having October 6th thru 7th. This will be our first pinball show. We are close to that number but are still looking for people who are interested in bringing a machine or two, which gets you free admission.

If you are interested in bringing a game or have any questions, please let me know. Thanks!

Well no, but I don't go to a town like that to hang out in the shitty part. Obviously it's going to have crappy parts to it, it's the 2nd biggest city in the state. Guess I'll just go hang out in Detroit, or Saginaw, or Flint, or Bay city......etc etc
Chicago is a nice city too.
