After coming across yet another "we're trying to save the sign" campaign in the paper in regards to the big Leilani Lanes pin (the last we remember being the Wonderbread sign) Seattlest is struck that trying to make all of Seattle a big outdoor MOHAI doesn't really do much for actual preservation. The bowling alley is gone and we'll have to make do with Sunset (or the Garage, or any of the others that Contributor Emeritus Steve Mandich wrote up in his awesome bowling series for Seattlest). Sticking a big bowling pin on the side of new construction seems kind of like conquerors popping heads on pikes as a warning to others. Looking at you, Showbox.
