Update to original article:
Van Nest Lanes in the Bronx is no more.
Rumors started circulating today via social media that popular bowling center Van Nest Lanes in the Bronx, NY was closing. Unfortunately, it has been confirmed.
After speaking with owner Jim Farago over the phone, he confirmed "Van Nest Lanes is out of business. We have been shut as of March 17th and we are not reopening."
This one hits home to a lot of bowlers in the NE, as the center, which opened in 1960, has experienced a solid 60 years in business and is home to many bowlers in the Bowlage group. And if centers don't open soon, I'm afraid they won't be the last in the area.
A sad day indeed. . .
