That quarter and the huge number of machines from which to choose gave me the feeling that I was playing the slots in Vegas and I was gonna win big! :D It's a really amazing thing for a kid.

CH was not as gentrified in the 80s...It was a lot of fun, though! Was Fowler's Food Store on E. Franklin gone by the time you got to CH? If it was, you missed a legend. It was an old A & P-type independent grocery store with a legendary beer and wine cooler that you could spend days in. It was not fancy or anything, but the whole room was one huge cooler. I know it's been demolished in favor of high-end shops.
