Today marks the 10th Anniversary of Joe Newhart's pinball distribution business, PinballSTAR Amusements. Happy Anniversary Joe! As part of the celebration, Joe shared pictures of the company's headquarters, which are located in an old church building. In addition to the business, the church houses Joe's HUGE personal collection of pinball machines, which is one of, if not the best that I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot lol). I believe that I've shared pictures of this before, but if you haven't ever seen it, you're in for a big treat. This place is so cool!
