I give this place a 3/5 stars because of the very questionable first impression we were greeted…read morewith. My mother and I visited Glitch's Arcade on a weekend. We were not planning to spend more than 5-10 minutes there. We just wanted to walk around and see what machines they had to offer, as we were looking for a good "gaming" business to visit for a family-night-out. There was no one in the arcade, judging from the empty parking lot and a lack of bodies in a very open room upon walking in. The first thing you see is a room full of retro-style arcade machines such as PAC-MAN and Galaga. Two middle aged women greeted us at the front door. One was working behind a bar, and the other was standing beside the bar counter. I approached the woman beside the bar counter and asked if we could have a quick look around, and then leave. She definitively told us no, because the machines were "free to play." Basically... you pay $10 for a full day of free-range play on all of the machines. After telling us no, she did not say anything more... instead motioning towards the bar to show us the drink and food options they offered. First of all... why would you expect people to give you their business if you do not advertise the products/machines you offer? There was no way to figure out what machines they had unless you walked around for yourself. Second... I understand not wanting customers to play your machines without paying. But there was no one in the arcade. These two women were just standing around when my mother and I first came in. She couldn't have stood at the doorway and just monitor us while we looked around to see what they offered? Third... if you REALLY don't want risk your customers stealing your services to the point that you don't want to monitor them while they browse, then OFFER to SHOW them around. I don't think it's very good for business to flat out refuse customers the way that they did and then offer no alternative. The whole interaction was very off-putting... so my Mom and I walked out once we realized the woman was not going to work with us in any way. We almost considered not going back at all as a result. Granted, the woman was not rude per-se. I did not find there to be any malice or during our interaction, but the attitude we received was odd. We did not find the place to be very welcoming. However... I did go back once by myself. They have a wide variety of machines to offer. They also offer both retro-style arcade machines as well as more modern-choices. The $10 price tag is great for the amount of playtime you get. They do offer a bar and food menu, but I did not sample these services.

Went back today, and the museum was open. I talked to the lady who was volunteering today, and she…read moresaid that sometimes others forget that they are supposed to work, or they have family problems and cannot attend. That was in regards to the museum being closed on Thursday when the sign said it was open. The volunteer today (Jackie) was extremely nice. She knew a lot about the items. I walked around looking at the stuff families have donated. There was a homemade bed that belonged to Collin McKinney (he was a founder of McKinney, TX) and is buried here at VA cemetery. What I really liked best was the vintage school memorabilia. The old football, baseball and cheerleader uniforms. The school pictures were neat. They had a girl's volleyball photo from 1912 and the uniforms were big, bulky dresses. Must have been difficult to move around in those clothes. Yet, I would rather see those then the mini shorts and tight shirts that girls wear today when playing volleyball. There was also a few photos from the segregated black school. Today it's been converted into a church across the railroad tracks. This was a really neat place. I could't find anything that belonged to my ancestors. Which is kinda sad b/c my 3rd great-grandfather was one of the wealthiest landowners in Cannon. You would think someone would have donated something. After I walked around, I talked to the volunteer. She was extremely nice and polite. She let me browse through a book on the history of Grayson county. I couldn't find anything on my family. This is a nice little place to look around. They're only open three days a week during the summer for 2 hrs a day. Like my previous trip, sometimes the volunteers don't show up. They do have vintage postcards and calendars for sale. All sales go to the museum. They also take donations.

The neatest museum of Van Alstyne history, artifacts, and things to remember…read more The museum itself is small but packs a punch. Areas are displayed with a wide variety of antiques, photos, clothing, and personal belongings of citizens of Van Alstyne's past. Entrance is free, but no photography is allowed. A single staff member works the desk. The hours of operation are slim, only a couple a day. If you're passing through it's a neat stop. If you have family history in this area help the museum out by looking through binders of unidentified photographs. You might find a relative or two. My personal favorite displays were the personal grooming items.

I recently took my daughter to see James and the Giant Peach and we had an amazing time during the performance. After the show everyone mingles to meet with the cast!

The last couple of visits, we couldn't get drinks or food unless we tracked down our waitress ourselves. Twice, at the end of the night, we tried to pay and were told our server had already gone home without telling us or giving us a chance to close out. We had to find another employee just to settle our tab. I reached out to Hey Day directly, but they haven't responded, which makes it feel like they don't really care about the issue.

I have of course heard of Sam Rayburn though his time in office was well before my time of paying…read moreattention to politics. Today, his name is associated with the Rayburn House Office Building, the congressional office building in Washington DC. Rayburn served as the 43rd Speaker of the House of Representatives, the record holder for the longest tenure in that role - 17 years (over three separate stints). He was the Representative from Texas' 4th District from 1913 to 1961. The Rayburn House in Bonham is a collection of news articles, memorabilia and several videos that describe the life and times of Speaker Rayburn. His huge library is also accessible. It is self-directed and easy to tour. Expect it to take between 30 and 60 minutes. [Review 728 of 2024 - 488 in Texas - 21759 overall]

I'm not particularly…read moredrawn to that, but knew a friend working here recently, so thought I'd stop by to check it out and say hey. It was cool to see the house, and to see it still very preserved as to what it would have been in the time he was living there. I especially liked the second floor of the house because it was cool to see the bedrooms. It made me want an outdoor sleeping porch to cool down on summer nights... but nonetheless I'm glad to live in a time where there's air conditioning!! They also have a few old fashioned cars to see. So, if that's something you like too, you may enjoy a quick visit. I'm also not much of a car person, so I can't remember what's there. Since it's also a farm, they have some information about farming back in the day too, which was good to see. I think my favorite part were the animals. They have some chickens and roosters, but the best was the donkey named Stinky! Haha!! Luckily, having a friend that worked there, we were able to get him to come over and say hello and even feed him some carrots. So cute... and thankfully, not too stinky ;)
