There will only be two bowling facilities left in La Porte County - Casey’s and City Lanes in Michigan City - and Collins encouraged his former customers to keep bowling alive at those centers. But conference coordinator Larry Zaideman is used to juggling the schedule since he’s also dealt with the closing of Seven Peaks (formerly Westchester Lanes) in Chesterton in 2014, Camelot Bowl in Portage in December of 2015 and Lakeshore Lanes (formerly Suburban Lanes) in Michigan City in 2016. ![]() The Lakeshore Conference has held multiple meets at Thunderbird in recent seasons with Westville practicing there. In his Facebook post, Collins said he is “seeking an alternative business for the property that will serve the La Porte area well.”Īnother aspect of the closing is how it will affect high school bowling. It’s not just a bowling center.”Īfter this month it will be something else, though no one has confirmed for sure what will replace the center. “I met people who I will consider friends for the rest of my life. It was a second home to me for the first 22 years of my life. “I bowled my first 300 game and my first 800 series there. “I started bowling at Thunderbird when I was 5 years old,” he said. Even though Keith Gakle has bowled for and coached La Porte High School for years while the Slicers practiced at Casey’s Lanes (previously called Quick’s Lanes), he was a product of Thunderbird’s youth program. She’s not the only one who feels that way. “We grew up in Thunderbird - my kids bowled there, I met my husband (Larry) there,” said Marge Burchiel, who owned the center with Larry, who died in 2013, from 2000 to 2005. ![]()
