-It’s quiet 🤫
-did they ever re-open?
-It is so 😢
-Memories. National Champions in Bantam Doubles in 1968.
-They have returned to Doubles from 5 man (and 4 man) teams.
-Thanks . We also had a five man team that was with us in Edmonton for the Nationals. They were Steve Burns, Doug Enman, Dave Thomson, Steve Savage and Dave Warman.
-Hasn't changed much!!
-WHAT a bloody shame
-I spent a lot of time there.
-So many child and adult memories made behind those doors 😢
-Lots of time spent there, in Childhood and Adulthood
-Bowled for years, Tues and Wed afternoon ladies league
-I think Mum was in one of those leagues, then the seniors' league - walked there and back from Bairstow every week for many years
-Yes Linda your Mum bowled either Tuesday or Wednesday Afternoon.
-Big part of my life growing up spent behind those doors. sad to see
-Let's get in reopen, perhaps renovate, modernize and perhaps expand maybe a second floor :)
-The lawsuits have to be settled before anything can be done. The building is a shell all machines are gone
-Lawsuits?
-landlords and tenant. They didn't close the business willingly 😔
-Had my first job there
-I spent Saturday mornings there. 😢
-There used to be a bowling alley downtown ...somewhere when i was a kid in the '60s.. I can't remember where it was though...anybody??
-Mill St. beside the Old Post Office.
-Thank you... i thought that's where it was ...
-Downstairs on Mill St. Doorway right beside Thrift Shop. I think there were five lanes. Pins reset by "pinboys".
-I use to be one of those “pin boys” downton. I believe I was in Grade 5 and we got $0.10 cents per game. People would try to hit us when we were in the pit racking. Crazy fun for that age.
-The Roxy Theatre was next door.
-For a short period of time in the 80's there was a nightclub/bar downstairs with the entrance off the parking lot at the rear. Name?
-, Started out as a Disco called "Jakes" in the late 70's Ken , myself and Howie Oram reopened in 81 as "Howies". Long story short, Al Piluti and I Started "The Roxy" in 82, open until 86. The Upstairs was all a part of it, operating as the Dining room unti 83, it then became "the holding tank" for people waiting to go downstairs.....we could'nt make any money off people standing outside in a lineup lol, so wait upstairs and have a drink, play some pool or pinball! Benny Loriman and Al Piluti were the owners of the building.
-I thought your name rang a bell. It was a great spot. Anyone got any photos?
-My dad owned the bowling alley downtown for awhile.. 4 lanes and I used to reset the pins at times... it was dangerous...
-I bowled many games there. Saturday mornings
-So sad seeing it be closed, use to bowl there all the time in tournaments and stuff when I was younger , lots of memories and good times .
-I remember it being built and when it opened
-It didn't close because of lack of use, but because of a landlord / tenant dispute.
-My mom used to work the snack bar there.
-I think it be need to put an roller rink in ...
-it's a shame, I luv the sport and the only one I can do at my age :-)
-We went a few times
-I remember it well
-The investment to keep up with the "super" alley's and huge arcades is high... and this location is relatively small... might be simply too difficult to run a profitable business at this location in this small town?
-They need to put 10 pin in there
-Unfortunately, everyone says that they spent a lot of time there over the years, but in reality, other than league bowlers, there was limited business. The odd birthday party, a fundraiser once in a while, the odd lane of open bowling. It was one of the largest bowling lanes in the area, with 20 lanes, which came with large expenses too. The building is aging, the mechanical is aging, the electrical is aging...
-That’s what I thought. It was empty a lot. Same as our local movie theatre people would drive passed it to Brampton.
-Ok for a long time bowled Tuesday and Wednesday woman's league and Friday night mixed league with my Husband.
-Yes folks if we ever get a Bowling Alley and Movie Theatre back please keep in back IF YOU DO NOT USE THEM, YOU LOSE THEM :)
-it is that simple. I know as a former business owner.
-Beside Dee Dee they already said the closing wasn't due to money issues
-I thought they renovated and got behind on the rent and the owner locked them out
-...it is a court proceeding now.
-Who was the Canadian Womens 5 pin champion from Georgetown?
-Julie McCorry during my time. But Marg Bratkin and her daughter were both very good bowlers too.
-Marg Bratkin that is who I knew for a while, she won a mustang car. I worked with her for a short time, real nice lady.
-Charlene McCormack
-Charlene and Marg Bratkin were the two top female bowlers.
-I played in a league in my teens
-Loved getting a strike on a gold pin. Free game! Didn’t happen often.
-YOU need some thing else in there to keep people there and spend /bowling alone dont last long [your in play then go ]that is not very good
-Used to go there with Ken Diamond and the boys years ago.
-Anything in the form of entertainment is greatly needed!
