I'm going to MTL for 3 days next week for work and to watch the Flames SMOKE the Habs, and I'm wondering where the places to play dwtn. are now? When I lived there in the '80's I recall Central Station as a great place, and of course all those great arcades on St.Catherine like Crystal Palace, and I also remember a great arcade in the Alexis Nihon Plaza across from the Forum. I know most of those are ancient history, so does anything still exist??TKS!

Like MrHide would say.....

MOUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!

In your dreams, Jim...I should have put....

tartagliag

there is nothing left...except perhaps

Amusement 2000 inc.
1381 Rue Sainte-Catherine O, Montréal


On the other hand, we have a nice casino!.... or my basement if you want

There's a batman and a monopoly to the Banque Scottia cinema (old paramount) near metro peel on Sainte-Catherine.

Ok, I need to put the fire out on those Flames and the rumour about them smokin' my habs. As a respiratory therapist I can say that 'smokin' is bad for ya especially when Les habitants are involved. Mtl is a good team, they are not the leafs. The habs will stampede over the flames!
Drops the gloves

Hmmmm..when your teams top 3 are 2 Devil rejects and even a Flame reject I'm not sure I'd call that a good team...Phaneuf, Regehr, Bouwmeester, and Kiprusoff will be able to literally take the night off since all the action will be in the other end. 6-1 Flames..a VERY embarrasing night for the Bleu Blanc Rouge. The fans will be chanting "We want Thibault" or  "We want Huet" before the night is done! Smokin is definitely bad for ya but the Habs have been smoked many times already..write the obituary!

Ok Shoeguy let's dance.  

I don't want to write a Habs obit so instead, I am willing to bet a six pack payable to the winner when the loser gets the chance to visit the other person city. Maybe a league night, SB auction or random visit ( I go back home to Mtl 1-2x per year.) If you agree, I will gladly accept Dos Equis  

All for fun of course! If you accept, then I wish you good luck. Flames, really? Go Habs!


Now I am going to pray to my hockey gods....

Its on!  I'm in Ottawa and I do go to TO often enough too.  I'm good with a six pack of MGD.  I'm getting thirsty already!  Maybe if you're lucky I'll give you one to help you drown your sorrows!!  

   Found 3 Pins in the old Forum building upstairs...kinda cool what they did to preserve some of the insides of the building ( Center Ice is there as well as many old seats) but kind of eerie too in a way. Anyhow T3, Stern Harley Davidson, and TSPP are all there working 100%, with the HD now having a new Grand Champion score on it! The place was VERY quiet and the bartender said its close to closing down and being remodeled into something else. Too bad.. I also found the Amusement 2000 that Mr.Hide had mentioned but no pins there . Food was great!  Mr.Steer/Bar B Barn/ Dunns...all of the good stuff is still there at least from a food point of view!  A beautiful few days to walk St.Catherine too..I forgot just how gorgeous Montreal women are!!!!

  
  

Fixed a couple of pinballs in stores a while back. The owners have them as curiosities & use them mostly for decor. Customers are allowed to play them, one quarter one play.

1) A GTB "PUNK" (pretty tacky widebody pin) in a super cool retro clothing and item store called MEOW. Opens at noon and is located just east of the main on Mont-Royal. 74 Mont-Royal east.

2) Montreal Tattoo located just north of Mont-Royal on St.Denis on the east side has a GTB Jungle Queen in their lobby as you walk into this chic tattoo lounge. 4525 St.Denis.

I will post more of these as I fix or find them.

Amusement arcade 2000 Plus on Ste. Catherine just installed a new IM right out of the box. I know this for a fact, because I took the damn thing out of the box and set it up in the warehouse for them alongside their tech before they picked it up last Friday afternoon to deliver it. As well, they also picked up & went off with a used but properly shopped NBA (Stern). Both should be in operation at their arcade near Bishop.

Il y a un nouveau Iron Man et une NBA (Stern) tres propre qui on surement etait installer a l'arcade 2000 Plus sur Ste.Catherine proche de Bishop cette fin de semaine passer. Je les ai monter et verifier avec leur technicien avant qu'ils les ramasse vendredi passer a l'entrepot chez Starburst a Montreal.
