WYANDOTTE, MI — One of Michigan's most beloved bowling alleys will close in August after 76 years.
Biddle Bowl, located on the corner of Biddle Avenue and Labadie Street in Wyandotte, will close on Aug. 23 after the building was sold to redevelopers, according to the family who owns the alley.
The building will not be turned into another bowling alley, but rather a storage facility as current owners Robert Woelkers Jr. and Judy Sadler slide into retirement, according to news reports.
