## Transcript

Here's a quick video walkthrough of the iconic Silverball Museum boardwalk arcade in Asbury Park, NJ.  I was planning on heading down there with my youngest son tomorrow morning, but the forecast is for a Thunder Show Bomb Cyclone Blizzard or something like that so I took off and headed down there today instead.  There's nothing better than going to a beach arcade during the winter, on a weekday right when it opens.  You have all the games to yourself for a little while.
