A) This completely sucks. B) I wonder how much Lucky Strikes will be an option for Seattle dwellers. Personally, I have a hard time getting interested in going to Bellevue for a night out. Bowling is fun, but going to Bellevue is more trouble than it's worth. C)Taco Bell on Broadway is not a landmark. Sorry, but that place was a skanky fast food shithole. Honestly, I'm all for having some sense of history in this city, but Taco Bell? We can come up with something better than that.

Well, they were gonna get some serious heat anyways from the Lucky Strikes opening up in Bellevue. Ballard was getting more yuppier anyways and Lucky Strikes has the "hip" factor to bring people over across the lake.

The P-I confirmed the story this afternoon: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/346126_sunset05.html Two bowling alleys in the north end the past couple of years, where am I supposed to get my roll on?

It was a Real Estate Decision. $10 million according to my Store Manager. The manager of the Sunset came over to ask for a job, which is how we found out. Still, could be rumor, who knows. They were planning to build condos in the tiny lot between the burger kind and the sunset anyway, I suppose they just expanded their plans.
