Somerville game-park "Good Time Emporium" was auctioned off, piece-by-piece, a little over a week ago to make way for an Ikea. Goodbye, beer and fun. Hello, prefab Scandinavian furniture.
As awe inspiring as it was to see everything that once lined the floors of the Emporium packed into rows in a warehouse in Brockton, I've got to say that seeing the "Game Park Auction" community come together was amazing. Owners of parks elsewhere, The Video Arcade Preservation Society, and shysters of all persuasions came out. And me with Brendan and Richard.
