Rusty Quarters arcade to open in Minneapolis


S1500

Recommended Posts

Interesting. An arcade consisting of classic(*and a few 90s) video games is opening up in Minneapolis. This used to be near the twin cities' first "cyber cafe" and on the same block we had a "gaming cafe" me & a few friends were good in with the owners of.

I never heard of this place until today. TCL ran a story on it . They aren't doing very well and it looks like they need to raise $3000 by June 8th or they will close.

 

 

I'm going to try to get over there this weekend.

 

Aired today May 31, 2012 on TCL.

I admit I meant to get over there but never did, though I don't think I can give them 3 grand. did they make it?

 

I get my coin op fix at DeLeo's pizza in Oakdale/Woodbury- it's closer.

 

 

yep according to their site they just squeaked in at $3008.

They raised $3008 in 21 days. The story below aired on the local news tonight.

 

It's not mentioned in the story but according to their facebook page they added a Tron machine today. I'm going to need to get over there again soon.

Seriously? I remember they had a fundraiser not too long ago to stay open. Did they ever get out of the old location?

 

 

IIRC they had two fundraisers. That was to pay the back rent. They never got out of their old tiny location, which was hard to park around.
