I have to wonder, of all the people who have popped up saying "Oh no please keep Sacco's"- how often do you actually go to Sacco's? It seems like a lot of people are getting mistakenly nostalgic for something they don't actually do. All I know is that he wouldn't be having business problems if as many people as say they will miss it were regular patrons. If the new owner kept the sign hanging up, would you even notice?

My husband and I went to Sacco's every week before I got too pregnant to bowl. We've tried to take the baby, but she's not quite up for it yet. I miss the heck out of it and would definitely notice eventually, if maybe not within a week these days ;).

Wait, how do you know that the people who wish it could keep running aren't regular patrons?

As for myself, I'm not a "regular patron" of any bowling alley or pool hall, but I prefer Sacco's to Lanes and Games and would rather go there for my occasional bowling or pool junkets. I like Joe, and I like the atmosphere.

Its a good question - and one that the banks are asking us!lol (keeping any of the bowling lanes takes up a big amount of space for small revenue return) I know Joe's business has increased with all the publicity, which is a great thing!
