Remembering The Retro Arcade Museum, Beacon, NY

The Retro Arcade Museum was located in Beacon, NY.  The museum has tons of pinball and arcade games that date back to the 1950s.  Some of my very favorite games at the museum were Pong and Frogger.

The Retro Arcade Museum was shut down in 2010 due to a law in Beacon, NY that banned pinball arcades.  The museum was shut down after being open for only 18 months.  The arcane law that was used to close the museum came about because lawmakers at one point though pinball was run by the mafia, encouraged gambling, corrupted innocent youth, and attracted a bad elements.



What can we do to change these arcane laws nationwide?
