AMF Center Closes Doors
« on: July 22, 2008, 08:57:14 AM »
AMF shut down Olympic Lanes, a local bowling fixture
since 1951. The 80 lane center is located in Chili, NY
Not something that we like to see.

AMF has been closing a number of centers.  To my knowledge, they have also closed a center in Atlanta and one in Chattanooga in the last six months.

One in Portland, OR closed in May, another last month. And one across the river, in Vancouver WA sometime in the last 2 months.
