Amongst other things, this weekend found me at Musee Mechanique, an underground hot spot for the somewhat off the beaten path tourist. Located underneath the Cliff House, this little museum houses a few handfuls worth of old arcade machines from what once was a San Francisco amusement park. And, when I say “arcade” think of the Zoltan machine from the movie Big…awesome.

Unfortunately, the museum is due to be closed in September (although this petition may grant a stay of execution [11254 signatures as of my signing]).

Check out what I saw…
