Finding Pinball Machines in Indiana

Growing up, I was always more into redemption games, such as skeeball, than arcade games, since I liked the concept of winning an award (tickets/prizes) than earning the high score.  One exception was pinball, which I spent many, many quarters on when I was younger.  I guess pinball technically does have a prize you can win on most machines, which is a free game, but it’s definitely not a redemption game.

Anyway, I’ve never outgrown my childhood love of pinball, so I still seek out machines when I’m on vacation or visiting anywhere (like a mall) that might have an arcade.  If my choices at the mall are browsing Old Navy for an hour with my wife or spending that hour in the arcade, you can probably guess where I’ll be.

Indiana Leaf Cams

Autumn is almost over but be sure to bookmark the Indiana Leaf Cam website for next year, as it’s a great way to keep an eye on the changing colors throughout the Fall.  Right now, there’s still some nice color in Brown County, although all the leaves shown in the Connor Prairie cam seem to be on the ground at this point.
