Huge Crowd Turns Out to Play the Games at "Caine's Arcade"
The crowd that showed up this afternoon at an auto parts shop in Boyle Heights was totally stoked to play the homemade arcade games of 9-year-old Caine Monroy.
This is the first day that the arcade has been open for business, since millions of people viewed a video about Caine's story and the flash mob that visited him. Tons of people showed up, there was a band and the DIY spirit was strong with volunteers chipping in to create more sold-out "Fast Passes." We combed Twitter for photos showing both adults and kids alike enjoying what looks like an exceptional way to pass a Saturday afternoon.
