Jone MacCullough (MsMac) is hosting Poetry Friday today on her blog, Check It Out! Thanks very much, Jone.
I live in the former Lowry Air Force Base, released from
the government, then re-developed about 1998-2000. My school is here too. On one street where I drive often sits an old
bowling alley, long abandoned by the military, appears to be lost in the way
some buildings are. Someone owns the
property, on a street commerce-busy, but no one has wanted to do something with
it, until now. I’ve seen a HAZMAT team
enter, and lots of workers going in and out with trash bags to fill the
dumpsters. Yet nothing so far has been
done to the outside. I wonder if it’s going to be reclaimed as a factory or
something like that? It’s as large as a
box store, probably had the alleys, snack bar and the old game machines, like
pinball. I’d love to peek inside!
