National Pinball Museum Doors to Remain Open

 Ok, time to admit a piece of sadness here.  I had never heard of the National Pinball Museum until I read this piece of news.  Now I have to make a point to go and visit it.  While I'm not crazy big into pinball, I recognize this is an important party of nerd history.  Sort of like visiting the Natural History of Geek museum, or the closest we have.

Thanks to some working with the property management company of the location they are leasing space from, it looks like the National Pinball Museum will remain open without interruption.  At least until they can find some place to be on a more permanent basis.

While the National Pinball Museum looks for a new, permanent home, patrons will still be able to stay and play for reduced rates. That hopefully means a winning tourist season for the museum, but Huskey has also seen a lot more District residents lately. "Locals were coming out in droves, which has been a really great thing because the museum, for all we know, will not be here in the state it is in now [after September]," she says.
