The Blog of Abel Horwitz

On Saturday I went to visit Caine’s Arcade. Admittedly, it really bothered me.

To me, the whole thing was taking something beautiful and innocent and wonderful and exploiting it.

There were a lot of people there, it was a party with a live band, live music and raffles. The line stretched down the block. 

And there he was. This little boy. But he wasn’t smiling — at least when I saw him. He looked overwhelmed.

I just hope that he’s ok. I hope this doesn’t hurt him in the long run.
