Cory, my computer won't play the movie. I downloaded the one you posted before, but was disappointed when my computer did one of those 'I do not recognize the program that made this file. Do you want me to search for it?'. Is there a site I can go to so I can get what I need to watch your movies. I'm really interested to see what you've been doing.

You'll need to download or upgrade to the latest version of Quicktime:

$29.99? Sorry, Cory, but I'm not paying $29.99 for an upgrade.

Quicktime is free, just download the free version. $29.99 for the pro version.

there was talk of re-opening on market st. is that still goin down?
the cliff house was really the best home for one of san francisco's finest jewels

I hadn't heard about moving to Market, but I'm kind of out of the loop now on current events within the Musee. I can say that moving to Market would be terrible for the machines because they would get beat to death, and there just isn't any connection to their history there.

I agree, SF sure doesn't do much about saving the past though. The gaudiness that is Union Square now is a great case-in-point.

i think i heard about the moving to market shonanogans from jen
so i'm not sure at all
what were the orriginal plans for the machines?

The original plan was for a new visitors center to be built around the corner from the Cliff House that would house the Musee and the GGNRA visitors center. It would have made the Musee handicap accessible.

The money was used correctly, and then the rest of the funding for new building was lost, but the GGNRA decided t go ahead with the renovation of the Cliff House anyhow, making it just a restaraunt and no Musee. So, for now the Musee is stuck at Pier 45. They may not have the money once that 3 year lease is up to have built that new center... so who knows after that.

Now THAT looks like fun.

It's one of the most amazing places in San Francisco, though if you come here it won't look at all like it did in the video, it's in a large bay-side warehouse now. It really kills the ambiance, but it's still one best collections of antique games in the world.
