No one likes to think about it, but occasionally, it does rain at Lake Martin in the summertime. When that happens, don’t surrender the grandchildren to their cellphones and screens. Instead, visit a new arcade in Alexander City, one that is dedicated to the classic video game experience of the ’80s, ’90s and early 2000s.

Respawn Arcade, Pinball and E-Sports will debut this summer and will feature traditional arcades, skee ball, air hockey, shuffleboard and modern video consoles, said Jessica and James Duncan, who launched the business last year.
