‘Garrison Lanes’ are new -- again
Anyone who has visited the Garrison “bowling alley” in the past – oh, say 20 years – might have memories of a facility that was past its prime. And, those memories would likely be justified. Over the years, the aging facility had been operated, but not updated. That began to change in the spring of 2006 when Garrison resident Nancy Leidholm purchased the building from the Garrison Church of God.
After assuming ownership, Nancy and her husband Kyle began a series of projects to bring the facility into the 21st century.
Those who visit today’s “Garrison Lanes” and arcade are in for a surprise.
