    Another incident at the Troy, MI Chuck E. Cheese: Fists flying and hair pulling reported during fight at Chuck E. Cheese in Troy

    Oddly, the City of Troy is often ranked pretty high nationally when it comes to crime or on "Best/Safest Places to Live" lists. But I'm pretty sure that I've discovered the police department's secret to success: just isolate all the troublemakers at the local Chuck E. Cheese! Troy is actually a relatively large city in terms of area and the current Chuck E. Cheese is in the extreme southeast corner of the city. I wonder if anybody has considered opening a second location, maybe in the northwest corner to help draw out the criminals in other areas?

    LIke I said before, it's all that riff-raff hanging around the Oakland Mall.

    Wait, isn't there a Macy's there.

    Let’s break it down to what it really is. It is a crooked casino for kids run by an oversized rat.

    People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor

    An armed man robbed a Chuck E. Cheese pizza restaurant in San Bruno before fleeing in a Toyota Prius, authorities said Wednesday.

    The robber walked into the Chuck E. Cheese at a shopping center at 1270 El Camino Real just after 3:30 p.m. Monday, said police spokesman Lt. Tim Mahon. About 30 customers were inside, half of them children.
