The city of Beacon, NY is going to have a public meeting to discuss a modification to their law banning pinball and arcade games from the town. The meeting will be held at 7pm on August 30th.
The dispute came to a head when noise complaints about Fred Bobrow’s Retro Arcade Museum led to a landlord using an arcane law banning pinball machines to shut down the museum.
The new law would allow exemptions, by special permit, for vintage amusement devices built before 1980. It does not repeal the general ban on amusement centers on Main Street.
