Last Ball Rumbles Down a Village Bowling Alley
Bowlmor Lanes in Greenwich Village closes. This I believe was the first alley that bowlmor purchased a while back.
"The leagues are long gone, though at the end Bowlmor Lanes remained a spot for first dates, office parties and, of course, some longtime regulars".

Sad to hear any bowling center closing. A long time bowling center closed in tucson last year. Cactus bowl was the first center in the area to host a pba national stop and did so between 1962-1975 i think. The owners have some others centers in the area and renamed one of those cactus bowl after a remodel so the name at least lives on.
Sad, those lanes were cool. Bowled there about 10 years ago when I would travel to NYC for company meetings etc. Our company went there for an event, was very cool and retro.
