Slatington Bowling Center, 8123 Route 873 in Washington Township, Lehigh County, planned to open for one last day on Wednesday, according to a Facebook from Monday. The post reminded employees to remove all personal items from lockers.
Owner Bill Reese initially took to Facebook in January to share the news of the alley’s pending closure with patrons. The 16-lane bowling alley, in existence since the 1960s, was forced to close for about five months during the coronavirus pandemic, he said.
