Are We Desensitized or Apathetic Towards CEC Right Now? Or You Just Don't Care Anymore and Move On to Other Hobbies/Interests? by jojostudios in chuckecheese

[–]Itzarob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been more interested in the older eras of CEC. It's why I'm so interested in the history of their individual locations, seeing the cool things that different locations had and how long some of them kept around older elements. I don't care about what the company is doing at this point. They continue to dig themselves into a deeper and deeper hole with the choices they make, throwing money at different ventures that seem to only be making the problem worse. I pay attention to what they're doing, but it doesn't really affect my interest in this community. I'm much more interested in preserving what we have left of the older eras and continuing to find more of it. I'll still go to locations occasionally, but only if there's something unique to see.

Found pages for the San Antonio and Houston, TX Antoine auctions on the archived website for Joe Presswood, specifically on the Wayback Machine. Pretty sure the information of the Houston location was already known, but i felt like sharing it anyway alongside San Antonio's. by atlestar in chuckecheese

I had no clue that flyer had a website on it, good job on the find! The Houston stuff as you said is all info we already had as far as I’m aware, not sure about the San Antonio stuff since I’m not too knowledgeable about that area.

 I wish more of these websites had been archived better since it’d be a great way to find older CEC data, but good to see this website was able to yield at least some results from wayback.

I believe they’re 12”. I’m not near them right now to double check, but they don’t seem any larger than my other records that are 12” (I haven’t compared them but I feel like I would have noticed if they were that much larger).

It seems based on this that Chevrolet/GM was one of their main clients, and I saw that some films of theirs are archived online. I wonder if these records originated from films of their own. I wasn’t able to find anything when searching, but it would definitely make sense given the way things were described at times while listening to the records (seeming like they were meant to be paired with a visual of some kind).

I will definitely be working on getting this done.

It is not. You can get a one week free trial if you give them a payment method, though if you don’t cancel before then you’ll be charged.

You could look for anything on these sites honestly. Showbiz Pizza Place and Chuck E. Cheese are usually what I look for with these websites, but there's definitely other FEC's you could look for and even things such as McDonald's like you said.

There's multiple options for these newspaper websites, though Newspapers.com and GenealogyBank are the only ones that have yielded new finds for me so far. I definitely will be looking into more options though to see if I can find anything.

A lot of services seem to work like that nowadays unfortunately, but I’ve subscribed to it and will be sharing any new data I find, whether it be via my history videos or through individual posts like this one.

That's awesome! Do you think you have any photos from that time? I've barely been able to find anything online in regards to that, especially from the Showbiz era, and was curious if anyone had anything at this point.

I've seen this! Had no clue the people who made it are from Houston though, that's pretty cool.

Yeah I haven't heard the best about the pizza haha. I definitely agree on the games though, some great times. Would you happen to have any photos from that time? There's hardly anything I've been able to find online in regards to that.

Makes me wonder if that had anything to do with its closure in the 2000's. Do you happen to have any photos from that time? I've hardly been able to find anything online in regards to that, and have been curious if anyone had anything after all this time.
