Here in the Chicago area there is a chain called Showbiz Pizza Place that
has combined video games and pizza. It seems to attract a broad audience
of all age groups. In this area they seem to be doing a goldmine business.
Everything it top rate, from the food to the entertainment. They get so busy
that they have to stop people from entering at times. Until I read your article
I thought that "their" idea of combining video games and a pizza place was a
sure winner. But now I know that if you try hard enough you can f*** up
anything.
