While the company is long gone, the road that ran next to the factory is still in use by other businesses today. And though most of my fellow citizens have no idea why the road is named what it is, the street sign on Magnavox Way still stands to this day as a proud reminder of the humble, yet noteworthy contribution my hometown made to videogame history.
