What a shame. I hope he finds a new location:

Quoted from Brokedad:
Anyone like him who does this kind of thing deserves the utmost support from those of us in the pinball "community" even if he made some mistakes.

I agree, BD. I just made a donation to the museum, and I encourage others to do so as well.

Thanks for the pics, NP! Every time I see BBB, it just reminds me of how great looking a pin it is.

Quoted from NimblePin:
I was so stupid not to buy in on the repros...
I would much rather have a 'BBB' than a 'Kingpin'...

Do you have deposit down on a Kingpin?

Didn't Gene actually lose money on BBB?

I really wish I could have checked this place out. Sadly, I was in D.C. just a couple months before it opened.
