Up And At 'Em

Mel Mendez, 63, and owner of Gameopoly on Second Street The Dalles was after it early this morning, Monday, Feb. 22. Mendez said he picked up this display cabinet while attending a flea market in Portland during the weekend. He said business has been slow, and the flea market was similar. “People are still not spending money,” he said. “It will turn around. You got to be hopeful.” Gameopoly has been operating in The Dalles since 1997. Mendez buys, sells and trades new and used video games, systems and accessories from almost all platforms from Atari to Wii and everything in between.
