    Quoted from FamDocKevin:

    I'll preface this by writing that I am not fond of private businesses asking for handouts or charity. Also, I don't know this person and am unfamiliar with their business. Also, I don't want to divert this into a political discussion or discourse.
    But, being a fellow Pennsylvanian, I can say that the State of Pennsylvania was extraordinarily draconian with their restrictions on businesses during the pandemic. And, they held onto their policies longer than many states. I'm shocked at the number of businesses able to still survive the policies of the pandemic here in PA.
    I'm all for letting capitalism run its course and for having businesses flush-out if they can't economically keep afloat. But some, small businesses especially, have been unfairly crushed by the Covid policy of the last 2-3 years of the current governor. It is especially tragic that many other people sat home in their pajamas doing nothing, still collecting money from the government for months, while countless business owners struggled to keep their doors open.

    You nailed it..then the person who pushed much of this is now the Govenor. I've been to this arcade and it's a cool place to visit. Many arcade games many have recapped monitors and new controlls.
    Assuming this guy has a stock of games he can move in, selling some of the big $ games is a good way to raise cash. For the sake of saving a decent place to visit, i hope it works out.
    Ill visit next time Im near.

    I'm familiar with the history. I believe it should not completely eclipse the fact he is running a pubic arcade with over 125 games. Its been open for a few years now and had the misfortune of being forced to close..PA was right behind CA and NY.
