Spaceplex
I'm sure people remember this place, anyone have any good memories?
I loved going there as a kid, I would play games for what felt like hours getting piles and piles of tickets, only to redeem them for some cheap junk. But I had a blast there.
A NY Times article on the place from '93.
And another. |

I never went there, but I remember kids my age raving about it at the time..... then the Katie Beers thing happened and that was the last I remember hearing anything about it. I don't really remember hearing about Katie Beers much after that either....strange.

I think I read a few years ago that she moved away and changed her name. |

I really miss Spaceplex. It was where I hung out as a kid. I loved the walkway into the place with all the lights. I hope they bring back places like that again someday so my future kids can experience that.
I remember when it was turned into Bulldog. I wasn't that disappointed though since I played roller hockey there for years. That place has another memory just like Spaceplex did 
Anyone have pictures of Spaceplex? |
