    Yes--I have been to all 5 of them.My personal fav is Logan Hardware

    Why??

    It's the selection of the multiple era's of pins available to play that
    the other area barcades don't offer.

    The illuminated backglasses hanging on the walls in the back room
    in the rear elevate this barcade to the next level.Once you have spent
    the better part of an evening @Logans you can take a walk westbound
    on W Fullerton to Emporium (2363 N Milwaukee) and C/O another barcade.

    You really can't go wrong with any one choice,however if you do visit a
    Headquarters location,don't be shocked when you encounter all the
    "free play" pins--just "POP" for a drink and tell management I'm here to play
    your awesome pins!!!

    I'm really envious of all the pinball fans who live in Chicago!!!

    Logan Arcade has possibly the BEST atmosphere of any
    barcade in the US.

    But Add A Ball Amusements in Seattle may run neck
    and neck w/Logan-too close to call

    Let's not forget BlairAlley in Eugene,Ore also is up there.

    Come on pinsiders,let trek around the country and SUPPORT
    these awesome operators who work very hard to provide die
    hard players places to play!!!

    Remember--
    Life without pinball is like a life without oxygen!!!
