I'm reminded of the sad case of when I saw the pinball museum in Baltimore once, it was quite interesting, a lot of pre-electronics paddle games and the sort, and naturally, a large arcade of pinball machines. :)

I went to go back one day with friends, and found it had permanently closed in the interim, apparently because they couldn't afford the rent. [1]

(People in that thread love to complain about only getting a 1Y lease - but if they needed to move in a hurry, there's sort of a time crunch, and the longer the lease terms, the less favorable they're likely to be, since the landlord probably wants to hedge against prices going sharply up over that window...)
