Midwest roadtrip, Day 1, stop 1: Herbal Equipment And Distribution, Duncansville, PA. What a weird name for a hea- OHHHH it's a HEAD SHOP I GET IT. Also, randomly, a pretty decent pinball arcade! #arcade #roadtrip #arcaderoadtrip
H.E.A.D. Entrance. An overview of the game floor at H.E.A.D. Ripley's AND Shrek? Be still my beating heart! The dad-rockiest of dad rock lineups.

Doing a @knapparcade.bsky.social style spotlight on Playmatic's Space Gambler, since I've never seen this one before. #arcade #pinball #roadtrip #arcaderoadtrip

Day 7, stop 3. The Pinball Capital, Stone Park, IL. This brand-new spot just opened a few weeks ago, and it's got an astounding lineup of over a hundred different pins. Modern stuff, old school stuff, rare stuff, imports... a little bit of everything! #arcade #pinball #roadtrip #arcaderoadtrip
Banner for The Pinball Capital, hung on the outside of their building. The main room of games. The back room of games. A display honoring the first game with flippers, Himpry Dimpry. Nailed it, autocorrect...

This is that pinball show I was talking about, btw. The end goal of the road trip throughout the Midwest. To say I'm excited would be a dramatic understatement. #arcade #pinball #roadtrip #arcaderoadtrip

Day 2, stop 1; the Roanoke Pinball Museum, Roanoke, VA. Classics and stone cold rarities. #arcade #pinball #roadtrip #arcaderoadtrip
Entrance to the Roanoke Pinball Museum. Classic 60s and 70s games along the back wall. Some excellent 90s hits. My first time ever seeing Beach Queens, a flipperless one ball game by Bally.

A few last sets of photos from the Ann Arbor VFW Pinball Show, before I head off to my next few stops. #arcade #pinball #roadtrip #arcaderoadtrip
A pair of old school Bally EMs that I had never played before here; Trail Drive and Little Joe. Another ancient Bally, this one called "Star-Jet" which has a very Jetsons-esque feel to it. ABC Monday Night Football from Data East, complete with referee topper. A quartet of Sega Pinball classics, spanning the wide gamut of licensed properties they were known for in the Nineties.

Exterior of Arcade Monsters, Melbourne, FL. Retro game room at Arcade Monsters Melbourne. Pinball room at AM Melbourne. The "big room" at AM Melbourne.

Day 1, stop 5: Pinball PA, Aliquippa, PA. Third visit to this spot & it's always a good time here. An absolutely mind blowing collection of classics & rarities. I could spend hours in here, but unfortunately I only had 3 to spare tonight. #arcade #pinball #roadtrip #arcaderoadtrip
Pinball PA logo on the outside of the window. A look down one of their endless aisles of classic 60s, 70s, and 80s pins. A number of Williams classics on the left, and a humongous collection of environmental and sitdown cabs on the right. Me and the store's mascot, Doodle the Dog. Doodle's a good boy!
