A Pinball Wizard, There’s got to be a Twist

Ξ November 5th, 2009 | → 3 Comments | ∇ Historic Muskoka, In and Around Muskoka Ontario, Tripin around Towns |

Ever since I was a young boy
I’ve played the silver ball
From Huntsville down to Barrie
I must have played them all …

Just a few doors down from The Kee I could not resist a little peek inside the Balacade. It was like a journey back in time (gee now I’m  dating myself) with vintage pinball machines and games crammed into the small room.  Balacade is an arcade shop that was started in Bala Ontario over 50 years ago and is still run by the original owner Paul Arney and his wife Patricia.

    Took a spin in the laundromat,
    Played a game in the music arcade,
    Kept winnin’ while the band played,
    That’s how good I felt.

    Very, very cool…haven’t been in one of those places in 6 years… :0)…took my grandson to Florida and he just loved to visit the arcade after dinner for a while! Sort of a “relaxation” thing!

    Great shot…
    Cheers
