God, I used to HATE it when people had birthday parties there. I hated to skate. Worst parties EVER.

What about that video arcade that was on the corner of N7th and Cypress?

I never made it that far out I think there used to be some sorry excuse for an arcade next to Gene Cox's but my memory is really fuzzy.

Johnny's vs. (who cares, Johnny's is the best)


For nostalgia's sake, it would be Johnny's v. Pioneer pizza. Johnny's wins going away. A Johnny's sweep is the best pizza in LA, and maybe the world.

I only got to go to Chuck E Cheese after report cards came out because they would give you so many free tokens for every A.

Oh, SNAP. Pioneer Pizza was awesome. They would give you a playing card when you placed your order and then would announce the card when it was ready. Too bad they tore the old building down to put the Canes there.

You should have come over to the West side. Always was and always will be the best side.

it wasn't theirs, that was a rumor. I can't remember exactly how to get there, I just remember you turn to the left over by Glenwood and that Chick Fil A then it seems you make another left (the houses are actually very close to I-20).
