Over the Thanksgiving (US) weekend last year, we drove to a town nearby, McKinney, TX. Each year the town host a “Christmas on the Square” event. It’s a big draw for local business and families alike. What is not to like about family and fun?

This year was different as the weather did not cooperate. It rained most of the afternoon and into the evening. For me, the conditions were perfect as I don’t like crowds.

For my wife and daughters, they made the best of a wet situation. By the way, “Christmas on the Square” has become a tradition for my wife and girls, not so much me.

Since none of the stand and few of the stores were open, it turned into a short experience. Or so I thought. The girls grabbed desert and we started for home after 20 or so minutes in the square.

As we returned to the parking garage, I asked about a place I knew was open; Arcade 92.

Video games connect family and fun

Since I had not been to Arcade 92, I only could imagine what I was suggesting we do. Given that our daughters are in the teens, I thought this might be a good way to make memories. Boy, was I right!

So, this brings me to the heart and purpose of the blog. As well, it brings me to the mission statement for Arcade 92.

For me, the mission statement ties together my intent for this website. Just like gaming with my kids, my hope for this blog is similar. The wording is just a bit different;

Bring people together by providing a website to connect through experience
