Photos from our family's night out at the arcade on the beach - its been there since 1950.  It was like being on the boardwalk in Santa Carla - just waiting for the vampires.

Song Saturday #121

Ratt - 'Round & Round' (1984)
Today's pick comes straight from the middle of my childhood - the awesome '84! - Ratt was my favorite band then and i distinctly remember requesting this and their other songs at the skating rink! Ha! Of all the 'hair metal' bands of the 80'z - i still think they were the best. Hearing them also reminds me of going to the local arcade which was called 'Aladdin's Castle' and playing stuff like 'Gauntlet', 'Tron' and 'Dragonslayer.'
