Lucky Eddie’s is a little hole-in-the-wall where everything tastes the same — like smoke — and everyone is welcome so long as you don’t cause trouble. Eddie’s Arcade became known as Lucky Eddie’s after it escaped serious damage from a fire that leveled the rest of the block, a local riot, and a Yak/Mafia shootout — all in the same week. Eddie takes it easy and serves the drinks and food to a clientele mostly of plant workers at night and local kids during the day.
> Eddie’s is just Eddie’s. When you blow that job, or want to wallow in a little misery, it’s a good place to be alone or find someone whose day was worse than yours.

> The bluecollars can spot runners like runners can spot feds, but they don’t much care. They do good by themselves, selling time schedules, blueprints, and the like at a fair price, as a sort of proto-information-union.

> It’s the best place in the ‘plex to get gossip on local media events, as a lot of guys and gals that work backstage at concerts and shows around town hang out there.
