Rec Rooms Make A Comeback
Rec rooms, which reached peak popularity in the 1970’s are coming back into style.

These rec rooms aren’t the dingy basements of the past, they’re stocked with every diversion imaginable. Let’s see: Big screen TV, video games, home gym, pool table - check, check, check and check. With everything right at home (combined with the soaring costs of going out), kids and teens are latching on to the idea of nesting and enjoying a “new domesticity”.
