The owner is Elaine Gilliland who purchased the business in 2012. Her husband Gregg is also on board to help his wife live her dream. Six days before the grand re-opening, they received a call to hear that the bowling alley was on fire. I did do a photo album at that time and was hopeful that the business would be built back up. With the help of many residents and friends that is exactly what took place.<\/p>\n<p>Walking in on Friday, I was greeted by Elaine and Gregg; and I told them I was there to do a story and to congratulate them on their being named The Best Bowling Alley in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>As I was given the tour, I could see why this award was given to them. For a small town they have the perfect place, d\u00e9cor, friendly service and great food. There are six lanes, and they host Pewamo Westphalia Varsity bowling teams. Waldron School also comes in twice a week. The have 8 leagues and 2 Junior Leagues.<\/p>\n<p>Everything is shined and polished and ready when you walk in. I was very impressed with the whole design. They have a large assortment on their menu from burgers, wraps, subs, wings, strips, shrimp basket to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>I thank you, Elaine and Gregg, for your hospitality; and I congratulate you on your well-deserved award as the Best Bowling Alley in Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>I will be back to enjoy some of your food and your company.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6b9-szfpvhg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:Maralyn@sjindy.com\">Maralyn@sjindy.com<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>This week\u2019s Mystery Photo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where is this?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/indylite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mystery303.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"377\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/indylite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mystery303.jpg 400w, https:\/\/stjindy.com\/indylite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/mystery303-300x283.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Can you tell us where this is located?
