The Old Bowling Alley/Skating Rink
Does anybody remember the Old Skating rink, now Newell Paper Company and the old bowling alley/skating rink, now an old decrepid building.

Someone needs to open a new bowling alley in Demopolis.....(Hmmmm might be a good idea for a retirement job.)

Re: The Old Bowling Alley/Skating Rink
Sounds like a great idea. That old bowling alley was popular. It was making money hand over fist. The owners left to be closer to family and took all of the stuff with them. The floors, machines, balls, shoes, everything.

Re: The Old Bowling Alley/Skating Rink
I remember both of them. Used to skate in the now Newell paper building, of course befor that it was the coliseum, sort of a farm center thing and the schools had events there around Halloween, such as cake walks, etc. The bowling alley also had pool tables and later on slot car tracks when those were popular.
After you've heard two eyewitness accounts of an auto accident it makes you wonder about history.

Re: The Old Bowling Alley/Skating Rink
We love to bowl. I think it would be a great idea to have something like that for kids to enjoy so close to home!

I do too. There needs to be another place to hang out other than Parrs. But there would have to be good security there too to keep down fights and other undesirable people spoiling the fun for everybody.

Re: The Old Bowling Alley/Skating Rink
I remember the last day I went to the bowling alley. We went to learn how to keep score. This was a math class in the 3rd grade. I remember it so well because my favorite teacher ever, Mrs. Witherspoon was killed in a car acccident that day. She was our 2nd Grade teacher at DA. It was in 1983 or 1984 I believe.

My mom won many tournaments in her bowling league. I was in the bowling alley during the first month of my life.
