Formula 1 racing continues to expand its global reach and appears to be targeting one of the only countries that hasn't really embraced it yet and that's America. The F1 Arcade is a combination champagne bar, restaurant and simulator center and there's already one United States location and a report says 30 more are to come and there's good reason to believe Illinois could be next.
I have an unrealistic wish-list for what I'd love to have in a home. I'd like a basketball court, arcade and a water park. I'd also love to have a bowling alley lined with albums. Guess what. I found such a place and it's really in Wentzville, Missouri.
If I could have a couple wishes fulfilled, I'd love a home with both a pool and an arcade. If I win the lottery (which I don't play), I could get this Lake of the Ozarks dream home which checks both of those wish boxes. It has a sweet pool and a vintage arcade.
Someone could make a fortune restoring what was found in this abandoned Illinois home. Dozens of classic and in some cases rare arcade games were left behind in ruin.
You can still find arcade machines every now and then, but it's unlikely you'll find more together than what you'll find at a place in Branson, Missouri. It's seriously one of the great arcades left in the world.
