Dick Hoover's Lanes in Brunswick to close after 52 years
The Brunswick bowling alley at 1480 Pearl Road, open 52 years, will shut its doors end of the month after a March 16 shutdown due to the pandemic. Alan Hoover cited diminished business and a slow summer as key factors. Local bowlers recall peak crowds in the 1980s and 1990s and a Medina couple who met there and even photographed their wedding on the lanes.
