New arcade opening outside of Chicago - Pixel Blast

[Dauber]

Topic sez it all, I guess.

 

Grand opening is this Friday, July 1, 4pm. I plan to be there, although I doubt I'll be there that early! I do believe Doc Mack from Galloping Ghost Arcade has been helping these guys out, so it should be really cool. I also believe they plan to use Aurcade.com for score tracking, but it might not be ready in time for the grand opening.

 

soooooooo...here's the info:

 

Pixel Blast Arcade

1045 Burlington Ave.

Lisle, IL 60532

 

I believe it's $10 for all day, all-you-can-play admission.

It seems like everyone's getting a retro arcade except my city.

 

Then-again, I do have the registration claim on the name "Flynn's" for my territory.

 

Maybe I should do something with it...

I still need to go check this place out. Maybe I'll hit this place up during my next visit to GG.

Was going to go there the last time I was up there but the hotel screwed me and I had to go home early.
