    This center is actually farther away from me than two other centers but I grew up bowling in this house. They also really treat us great there and over the years I have made genuine friendships with the owner and staff there. It's not so much that if it closed that I wouldn't have other decent centers to bowl at it would be the friends and relationships that would change.

    The only constant is change. Hopefully your center will make it to seasons end, and beyond!

    Tragic. ;/ I know the feeling. I used to bowl at this AMF alley when they had the 2 hour free bowling a few years ago, and a all you can bowl for $10 special. I miss that house, too. I bowled very well there a lot. ;/
    My bowling balls include:
    Brunswick Brute Strength, Brunswick Mastermind Genius, DV8 Endless Nightmare, DV8 Diva, DV8 Diva Pearl, DV8 Marauder Mutiny, & Brunswick White Viz-A-Ball spare ball

    Well for an update they have announced that my house will stay open through the season but that is it at the end of leagues it's over. In some ways a good thing I don't have to try and find a new house to finish my fall leagues out. In some ways it's bad because going back every week is going to be like ripping the scab off. They are also only going to be open in the evening on league nights so I am going to have to go to somewhere else to practice.

    I am also loosing my coach and ball driller out of this not sure where I'm going to find a replacement for that.

    Wow! That's really sad, man! I remember when I lost my first home bowling alley, where I had friends and familiarity. Not fun!
