Here’s another bit of Hideaway history. The game Pente (similar to Gomoku) was created by a dishwasher there. The game was on the tables there, so you could play while waiting for your pizza. I think I still have the board, pieces, and the tube the game came in. Wikipedia says even President Reagan and Hugh Hefner owned it. I knew it was popular locally but didn’t know it was that popular.

Very interesting — and good for him for sticking with it and making it a success even after some early rejections.
