KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) — A 60-year-old ban on pinball in an Indiana community recently rolled through the flippers and went down the drain.
Surrounded by city officials at a local record shop Tuesday, Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight signed an ordinance resting on a pinball machine lifting the ban.
“This is pretty ironic. As we look back, I was reflecting that ever since I was a young boy, I played the silver ball. From Southway up to Morgan Street, I think I played them all,” Goodnight said.
The mayor said he and city officials are pleased to “bring pinball back to its popular stature here in Kokomo,” and he invited the police chief, Rob Baker, to play the first legal game of pinball in the city since 1955.
