Meet Me at Jimmy's Arcade: Nostalgia and Musings from an 80s Kid Who Accidentally Solved a Murder
Paperback
Bakersfield, California, 1990.
Local high school student Bebe-Lynn Sanders is missing. Each day that passes causes more and more worry for
the entire town. She was seen cutting through Quailwood Park on her way to rent a movie the morning she
vanished. Her last appearance was later that night outside the popular hangout, Jimmy's Arcade.
No one knows where she went. No one knows what happened.
Join mildly-idiotic kids Grant Fieldgrove and Roxy Roxburgh as they stumble, scheme, and steamroll their way
through Bakersfield in the late 80s and early 90s, desperately on the hunt for a Nintendo, fake earrings from
Miller's Outpost, tickets to see Vanilla Ice at the Civic Auditorium, and the ever-elusive holy grail - a porno mag!
And, of course, Bebe-Lynn.
Meet Me at Jimmy's Arcade is a hilarious and heartbreaking romp through a small California town way back
when, filled with nostalgic stories, humor, mystery, arcades, and malls. You won't want to miss it! So sit back, grab a Jolt Cola and a three-foot-long licorice rope, and enjoy the ride.
