A lot of new venue/location news lately has been from venues opening in IL but while IL sees a little boom in venues that does not mean that other areas do not have something going on.
A new venue is prepping to open its doors in Tarpon Springs, FL which is outside of Tampa. They are going by the name of Replay Amusement Museum which promises “an amusement museum of over 80 pinball games, video games and other coin-op amusements from the past.” It is a non-profit organization that is gathering support from the local pinball/arcade community in the region.

OMG! I live close to this place!! I will be definitely checking this out! There is not many arcades in this area. The couple that are here don’t have a good selection, small, or do not take care of their games.
We’re opening October 3rd! Website and Information is up!
Thanks for the post!
