Old School Cool: Meet Betsy, a Pops Pinball Regular

We're big fans of pop-up pinball parlor Pop's Pinball in Somerville, Massachusetts. The vibe, the games, the community - it's a really cool spot if you ever find yourself in the Boston area.

‍

Earlier last night, the Pop's crew shared some photos provided by a regular to their establishment. Betsy (@betsybouche) is cooler than anyone who will read this post, and has the pics to prove it.

Check out Pop's Instagram post for the full story (embedded below) but it sounds like Betsy spent her youth traipsing around Boston and hanging out in the city's pinball spots at the time. According to the post, one of her favorite spots was the Inn-Square Men's Club, a popular music venue in the 80s, where she played games like Haunted House (a favorite of hers) and Royal Flush.

The photos remind us of some of the candid shots documented in Roger Sharpe's seminal book, Pinball!, and, well, we love them so much.
