Carlie was minding her own business when she skipped down Waller Street on her way to a walk in the park. She bumped right into a standup sign on the sidewalk. “What on earth does F*G*W mean??”, Carlie said to a nearby squirrel scurrying up the tree. Since he couldn’t give her the answer, she walked into the open doorway. “PINBALL MACHINES!! YIKES! And just around the corner from my house!”, she exclaimed wanting to play every single one. Carlie went over to the owner and asked how this all started and what did those strange 3 letters mean anyways? The space began in 2006 as a simple silk screen print shop at 1767 Waller, but they always felt the space was poorly used. With a long virtually idle hallway that served as a showroom leading to their workshop, they started adding some pinball machines. The response was so very positive that the shop started adding more. With 20 pinball machines and other arcade games, it’s a virtual fun house! “I am definitely coming back with change in my hand to play these beauties”, said Carlie, and darted out the door. Those strange 3 letters? Free Gold Watch! Go figure!
