Franks Fun Center

My favorite of all the old signs and arcades on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach. Franks Fun Center, with its "old time" choo choo train. My boyfriend, who grew up here, played in this arcade for much of his childhood. Growing up in a seaside resort town, he would find change under the boardwalk and play arcade games all day long. Again, I like the emptiness you feel in this image. A place that should be flooded with children is empty and dark. This was the only arcade that was open, you can see one figure inside.
