Ball Square bowling alley is being demolished, starting tomorrow
The MBTA will begin demolishing the Ball Square Bowling alley tomorrow, according to the "Construction Update" email that the City of Somerville sent me last week.
- Starting Monday, April 22, crews will begin demolishing four buildings on Boston Ave. near the Broadway intersection, where the new Ball Square T station will be. Demo and debris removal will continue throughout the week between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., requiring lane shifts around the work zone.
According to the Somerville News Weekly, the alley closed in November, 2017. They also have a photo of the BOWLING sign being removed last month. (I do not really recommend The Somerville News Weekly, but I cannot find any other source for these two news items.)
Long-time readers of this group and its LiveJournal predecessor may recall a big party that we held there in February 2010, organized by plumtreeblossom. Here is a Flickr album from that night, including some backstage photos of the pin-setting machinery.
