Is there anything in this modern day life that doesn't require an insurance policy anymore? Now the insurance companies are peddling renter's insurance as another must-have of civilized living. At first, I was skeptical about the whole thing, but then I remembered reading about an apartment building fire where many people lost their belongings and it got me thinking: what if that had been me? I looked into it and it turns out renter's insurance isn't nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. It's approximately $120 a year, depending on your city, value of belongings, etc. You can shop around for the best quote, most of the big insurance companies have renter's insurance plans that cover all sorts of incidents and accidents associated with renting. This sounds great doesn't it? So why doesn't everyone renting have insurance? It makes sense that this is something landlords should make a requirement of all their tenants. This way everyone is protected. What do you think, should renter's insurance be mandatory? Or is this just another scam from the big corporations?

It had been ten years since I set foot in an arcade, mostly because all the old-fashioned arcades here are gone. At least the ones I remember going to when I was a kid. (By the way, to the previous poster, I too remember the old Aurora Village arcade and it is missed...) So, when last week I had to plan an outing for two ten-year old girls I immediately thought about arcades, and I remembered the last arcade I went to, Gameworks, in downtown Seattle. It's not new, and it's not really called an arcade, but inside it is wall-to-wall video games. They even have the old favorites like Ms. Pacman and Frogger decked out in wood consoles to give it that old pizza place feel. At least, that's what it reminded me of. But my favorite part about being at Gameworks was that it also has a bar. I got to hang out and drink cheap drinks while the girls played games. I'm not sure if the bar is there for weary parents or hipsters who want to re-live the arcade era, but it was a life saver, for me at least. As for the selection of games, judging by what the girls said, is great. They didn't get bored, they got a few toys out of it, and I had a fun time with my good friend at the bar. This is definitely an improvement to the old school arcade of yesteryear.
