Sorry I just learned (via a coupon that offered 50 cents credit toward playing Asteroids) that Ann Arbor (Michigan), circa 1980, had pinball/video-game arcades named Tommy's Holiday Camp *and* Flipper McGee's.

Do you wonder if there were raves at Flipper McGee's, late at night, after hours? Or maybe when it closed, machines gone, ghosts of the cabinets still beeping and blooping on stained carpet? You could almost see them, still. Hell, you could almost PLAY them, if you were rolling.

Best way to be, really...

Flipper McGee's on Molly... XD
