Cruncher of numbers, both professionally and recreationally, for longer than I want to admit. Avid fan of board games. Tracker of WPA just for the fun of it.

@JulieDiCaro Yup, the ball is basically the size of a regular wiffle ball and they have different types for indoors and outdoors. It’s a lot of fun. 🙂

@wischlist @MelvinLTate Garcia’s is still here… they just have one location left off of Mattis Ave. Ironically enough, it’s right by La Bamba, which was one of my favorites after a shift at the Illini Union Lanes.
