Ok, only problem is that I attended the Chuck Berry concert at Blueberry Hill this week and talked with Joe Edwards, himself. He says there are still problems with the space. I only spoke with him briefly so I didn't have the opportunity to ask follow-on questions. All I'm saying is, this isn't a done deal apparently.

It is now. Closing occured yesterday. Joe now owns the space.

my wife and i walked by last night and i noticed this in the window:

yeah, i know it's tough to see exactly, but it's blueprints for a bowling alley photographed at night with my iPhone.

discuss.

overheard they are supposed to start construction around August 7th for mid-December opening. Can't wait.

I want to see all the flamingos bowling. I also want to see the giant bowl of flamingos. This place is going to be amazing!

Maybe this poster can tell us something

Was it a 4 gig, or 8 gig iPhone?

Work started yesterday. Big dumpster out back.

Cool. Since it sounds like you live/work real close by, keep us updated.

Hopefully they'll move with the speed they did Pin-Up Bowl. That seemed to be completed very quickly.

I would assume it should take around 6 months from start to finish (just a guess, but when you think of all that will go into getting all their stuff in.) Does anyone know if they're going to have a menu? Or just a bar?

Can't wait to hear some of the names people come up with for downtown bowling leagues. Begin the brainstorm...

midcoaststl · PostAug 15, 2007#382007-08-15T19:57+00:00

I can't wait for a downtown league... Do they have them at the pin up bowl?

I am involved with the project, but can't comment too much just yet. It will be an aggressive time line (late November / early December completion has been the consensus). An opening date will be set within the next few weeks--I'll post it once it's on the calendar. Wish I could give more details now... There will be a website up shortly that will post construction updates and field any questions about leagues, etc.

Well, the good news is, people at this site are excited about the project.

Keep us informed!

Agree to disagree...

When in Rome!

off the hook is late 90's. off the chain..maybe more 2001.

innov8ion · PostAug 25, 2007#462007-08-25T22:48+00:00

So really, where is that rendering?

Also, I find it interesting that you can find "Flamingo Bowl" in Google Maps already! Ref: http://tinyurl.com/3ahpt2

I don't have a copy of it. But, everyone's eyes on here will hit their monitors when they see it.

Dear Joe,

I really admire your accomplishments, but dude, the 60's are over. Time to update the hair style.
