'Fred Eggs'

The old 'ARCADE AMUSEMENTS' ("the West’s oldest amusement arcade..") in Manitou Springs,Colorado has been a cornerstone of childhood and the whole town of Manitou is pretty much the last place i can relax and be myself around the Southern Colorado area. I grew up with the arcade which is a work of art within itself as well as a history of arcade games ranging thru' most of the 20th century.. the 1920s-1990s and beyond. With that..it also serves as an interactive museum!! Not to oddly enough..i am home there..

One lonely night in late August of 2004 .. i snapped some odd pix here and there around the arcade..

..Fred is all Fat and happy cuz he stole all the little plastic prize eggs in Bedrock..

..grrr..

..These eggs were layed by the tri-assic dinosaurian species : 'PLASTICOPRIZILODOCUS' ..

.. and they eggs hatched into little prizes...

..YABBA-DABBA- WHOOPITY DOO !! (Actually..this is a Dino the Dinosaur Prize Egg machine..out in a quarter..Fred spins around and thanks you.. and spits out a lil' plastic egg with a cheesy little prize..)
