I hope so too. I think the longer this shutdown business continues, the harder the hit is going to be for a lot of small business including pinball locations

I just read in the Indy Star that the Sinking Ship has closed for good. Very sorry to hear we lost a pinball location.

Sad news, I sold my route and all but three of my pins. We have terminally ill family and having to move on the quick. Indianapolis has been real good to us, pinball will carry on in Indy and the pinball people in this city are second to none. Thank you to everyone who has helped build the scene to what it is, you will be missed.

Hey Bud,
Thanks for doing so much for us pinball enthusiasts over the years. Your games were some of the nicest I've ever played. Good luck with your family situation. You will be missed.
I'm gonna miss you alot, man. It was so great getting to know you after that drunken night in that dive bar in broadripple.

So sorry to hear that Bud, you completely transformed the Indianapolis pinball scene. My prayers are with you and your family and if I can do anything please let me know. Hope to see you soon-come out and stay if you need a break or time away from things?
Bud,
You'll be missed.
It was good having you in the pinball community here.
Go take care of your family...God speed.

Had a nice farewell get together the other day. It was real nice seeing everyone that was there, covid/city forced an occupant limit we maxed. Masks were temporarily removed for picture. I haven’t seen some people since COVID-19 hit. You all will be missed for sure.

It was a fun night... sorry I missed the picture...
Good luck, sir... you have planted many seeds you don't even realize... 
I never got to meet you but Jeff at tappers told me about you when I told him i thought tappers had the best condition pins I'd ever played. That Indiana Jones is amazing! Last I checked I was still 3rd on it lol. I'm guessing that's one you kept.
Good luck on the move

Pins Mechanical--that's a chain and the machines aren't owned by a local Pinsider? Some of the machines need some love and basic cleaning.

Was visiting Indianapolis this past weekend with my brother and we stumbled upon the 16-bit location near our hotel around opening time on Sunday.
I was impressed by the selection of arcade cabs and the fact that they were largely in great working condition.
Didn't have time to play the pin selection (I think there were 4 newer machines near the entrance), but I came away impressed.
Nice job.
Quoted from supermoot:16 bit is a lame out of town company. Hit up tappers next time.
Glad you had fun tho!

Quoted from Agent_Hero:Is the Fountain Square Pinball Classic a tournament only with no free play area?
It is indeed a tourney only, but it's easily the best tourney of the year-- and I say that as an organizer of tournaments in Indy! It's a super fun day of pinball, food, drink, and making friends, and if you have the time there's a million worse ways to spend a Saturday.

Unsure how much traffic this topic still gets-- but I wanted to drop it here that the second season of Tappers League is starting this Wednesday 3/20 at 6:30p! No entry cost, just coin drop on games, 5 games of group matchplay for 8 weeks and I drop your two lowest scoring weeks-- ton of fun, friendly to all skill ranges, only requirement is a good attitude!
