I remember back then when I used to live around Silver Creek, my brothers and I would always walk to the Nickel City down the street. We blew our money on the arcades and played our hearts out. It was the shiz and we would stay in there for hours on end. I recall a few times that we stayed until it had to close. Yeah, them were the days. Summer. Games. Junk food.
Ah the wedded bliss.
It's been years since and it's impossible to go back because that Nickel City ran out of business and closed down. It's now replaced by a pet shop, which is lame. Don't get me wrong though, pets are awesome and I can use one [A dog or cat preferably] but damn, playing arcade games that normally cost a quarter but is instead a nickel? Shit like that you can never pass up. Besides, when you have lived around Silver Creek, you know a little entertainment goes a long way.
Luckily for me, nostalgia reaped its reward. One of my homies hit me up to go with him and his lady today to one that he found on Branham Ave. It was a trip down memory lane. Nickels never felt so good to spend.
After a few hours or so, we dropped by Quickly's [actually me] to pick up some snacks. I think I'm starting to get really addicted to it. Now more than ever, I want to transfer to SJSU just so I can stop by it every single day.
On another note: 3-day school weeks own.
