Video Of The Day: Caine's Arcade
"Caine's Arcade" from Nirvan Mullick on Vimeo.
In case you haven't yet heard of Caine's Arcade through the social media storm that's been spreading this video this week, here's your chance. In short, this cardboard arcade constructed by a 9-year-old boy, Caine, inside of his father's auto parts store in Los Angeles is a real place you can visit. You can play the arcade games designed by Caine. He'll even go as far as to feed you winning tickets by hand through a slot in the cardboard "machine." Before October 2, Caine had only ever entertained one customer, but that one customer happened to be a filmmaker. This video documents the building of the arcade and the special project that brought attention to the arcade. If you're impressed with Caine's design skills and motivation, you can even donate to a college fund set up for him on the Caine's Arcade website. When thinking of where to go in the Los Angeles area, this little boy's arcade tops my list.

I see this absolutely FABULOUS kid as a primo example of the REAL 1%-ers...those that work a whole helluvalot more than anyone else can imagine, giving their heart, sweat, and this is their DREAM! No goverment needed. Sure, down the road they probably have a big bundles of money,more than most of us, but they worked their behinds off, and they needed some helpers, or someone in the neighborhood wanted work, so now they employ people.
Why do 99% of us covet what other people have gotten? Maybe they were just like this kid at one time...and most people don't turn into evil, moneyed ogres.
I suppose tho', somehow, the gov't will come in and think they have to tell Caine what and how he has to do it. That might be the end of Caine's dream--and a huge loss for us all.
But my prayers are with you Caine--you are a wonderful guy, I can't wait to try out Caine's arcade!!

The only reason I would go to East LA would be to bowl at the triangle, is it still there?
