I know the place was kind of trashy and all but I miss playing random pick-up games or watching the game. Does anyone else?

Not at all, I hated that place, now if on the hill ever shut down, I would miss that quite a bit.

Definitely.  Good Times was the spot.  I went to MANY, many birthday parties there over the years.  The batting cage was cool and laser tag was sick.

Good Times was definitely grimey, to say the least, but it was always a blast.

I have been to that place a couple of times.  It was sketchy at times, but at the same time, it was good seeing all these families hanging out and having fun and bonding.  I liked the Go Kart and of course, playing that bball game.  That was a great place to go when you don't have anything to do (especially when you're under the influence of Maria :) ).
Baby Jesus!

I only went there a couple of times and never really liked it that much. The last time I went there there was a crowd around a Dance Dance Revolution machine and two people playing it and taking it waaaayyy too seriously.

I lived in Somerville the past 6 years and think I only went there twice. 

Place was kinda a dump and had quite the seedy crowd come nightfall so I can't really say that I miss the place.

Good time during the day, sketchy time at night.

Donogus I like your "BEANTOWN VICE", what do you call that?
Is that a signature ?

I use to love good times for wrestling paper views.  But yeah it was sketchy to say the least, I think a lot of gangs would hangout there at night.  The crowd of people that would be there outside were scary, just waiting for someone to pull a gun out.

I don't get the fear associated with that place. I never saw a fight break out there in my life. It was too spread out for anyone to beef really. Was it dirty? sure. but I loved it.

If anyone has ever played a pickup game after 5 or 6 beers it was at Good Times.
