I rate this as one of the tops stories of the recent history. A great story about an awesome idea, entrepreneurship and creativity that can spiral into an online phenomenon. “Caine’s Arcade is a short film about a 9 year old boy’s cardboard arcade, located in his dad’s used auto parts store in East LA.” (Caine’s Arcade) I guess why I find this story so inspirational and awesome is because I used to do stuff like this as a kid as well. Nothing as elaborate as this, but open a market on the backyard of the terrace of the house to sell “sticks and stones” or decorative items as they could be called. Something I would sell to family members and relatives to get few bucks to buy action figures. I had quite a few schemes like that and I really treasure those memories as I believe these projects kind of made me what I am today. I can see Maxwell creating his projects in the future as well. Check out the video, it’s pretty awesome.
