I used to have fun going to that years ago.   Unfortunately the last time I went the crowds had gotten larger and most of the shrimp seemed to be imported, not local.  I remember several vendors cracking open boxes of small frozen shrimp that were imported from Asian countries.

We hit up video game rescue. Good classic game store, prices were obviously retail but they weren't ebay-bad or anything. Picked up a few carts for a very reasonable price.

We have stores like this in Tampa but their selection sucks and their prices are so ebay its pointless.

Thanks for the review, they do a good job and I'm proud to be a part of the store in the arcade.
I've "tried" to go to a sport or two in Tampa but they felt like pawn shops...
