Show Notes
Wanting to save the bowling alley, Robert Endicott formed a partnership of local businessmen and together they have done just that. Relying on his vision of relationship, friendship, and community they have transformed the once dark, smokey, unsupervised facility. Three phases of remodeling has turned it into an entertainment hub for the community that is clean, well lit, supervised, safe, and modern. There is something for everyone at the new Liberty Lanes.
Some of the major improvements include a new sports bar, new (and more reliable) pin-setting machines, new scoring system, new lighting, a clean and modern kitchen, and a newer lane conditioning machine.
And more dynamic changes are on the way that will match the national trend of moving the bowling experience from sport bowling (leagues) towards entertainment and recreational bowling (which includes "Hyper Bowling").
And a giant LED wall is being planned that will allow bowlers to watch their favorite ball games and other entertainment, while bowling.
Details to all this, and much more fascinating information, is included in this extended edition of Almost Paradise in North Idaho.
