More arcade kid craziness. I took this while my granddaughter and a friend from the birthday party were waiting in line. Someone took a lot of care with the design - note the mirrored back wall and the hanging colored fluorescent tubes. The ride in the center-left is a combination of a mini roller coaster and what in this country is called a Tilt-A-Whirl. Ellie liked that one so much she went on it twice.

BUMP 'EM
ELLIE HITS THE JACKPOT
The kid just rang the bell on whatever it was she was playing. Might have been skee ball but there were so many amusements I'm not sure. Wasn't it be nice to be able to feel like that?

MADELEINE MONDAY
Ellie in action at the air hockey table at the birthday party Saturday. I love the look on her face. She flitted from one amusement to another until her game credit card ran out. Of course, she then demanded mine.

GET YOUR KICKS
My granddaughter. Ellie, was invited to a birthday party yesterday at a venue meant for kid craziness called Incredible Pizza Company. There is an all-you-can-eat buffet of pizza, tacos, hot dogs, salad and sweets, all cheap but edible.The main attraction is an enormous arcade of every kind of electronic game, plus a mini roller coaster, bumper cars, laser tag and I don't know what else. The kid had a ball.
The entryway celebrates old US Route 66, which went from Chicago to Los Angeles, with STL being a major node on the route. Think of the song Route 66, with best known versions by Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones. https://youtu.be/tg2EbJy-9dc

SIXTEEN YEARS
Today is St. Louis Daily Photo's sixteenth anniversary. 5,670 posts to date. Since I don't have anything fresh to post I thought I'd show an old favorite picture of the Gateway Arch, my most frequent subject.
My posts may be sporadic for a while, or, for the first time. I may need to take a leave of absence. I'll talk about why when the time is right so please don't inquire.
