Excerpt:

Alameda just threw down a roll of quarters for its beloved Pacific Pinball Museum.

Actually, about $51,000 worth of quarters.

The City Council recently unanimously approved a rent break for the museum's storage space at the former Naval Air Station. For the next five years, the museum will pay about $1,650 a month for a 12,000-square-foot warehouse. That's down from the previous monthly rent of $2,500, and about half what the city charges for some other storage facilities at the site.
