From The Scrapbook
Then & Now.
July 1952 marked the opening of The
Weirs Sports Center which we know today as Funspot. This photo shows
the original location on the 2nd floor of the Tarlson
Building on Lakeside Avenue in The Weirs. Some of the more popular
games such as Chicken Sam are seen in the background along with the
Photomatic photo booth. Pictures from this booth may be seen today
hanging on the wall in The Braggin' Dragon Restaurant at Funspot.
The Fun House ornament on the mini-golf is still in use today on the
Retro Mini-golf located in The Indoor Golf Center. Bob Lawton
purchased the Shuffleboard in 1956 for $125 and operated it for many
years before selling it. A few years ago, the gentleman who purchased
the game donated the scoring unit on top to The American Classic
Arcade Museum at Funspot where it can be seen today hanging on the
wall.
Also shown is the original sales receipt for the shuffleboard. Bob paid $125 for it in 1956. What could it be worth today?
