Transcript
Tier five days ago, I told the Internet that I would save this neighborhood center from closing down. Y'all watch me get gritty. I dug through antique shops, lowballed hundreds of people on Facebook marketplace, covered myself in paint and in sand from when I tried to refinish the dance floor. Low key, I blew out the entire room. Yeah. That was fun. Anyway, I realized in doing this that I don't just want to save a bowling alley. I want to create the most unique experience possible. And I think I did pretty good, but now I have another center to fill, which means it's time to get busy again. I'm looking for neon signs, new lights, and maybe some fresh colors. Please just don't tell me to paint the ceiling black. Our theme is retro modern. Think Bad to the Future meets Times Square in the early two thousands. This tier, I'm gonna show you more than just the renovation. We'll see how I actually run this place. Better buying not just one, but two bowling alleys was a good idea. So if you're ready to lock in on the day to day, follow your boy.
