Auto Parts Store Leases Old Westbrook, Maine, Bowling Alley

It was a shock to the system for those that hold on to traditions and nostalgia closely.

Towards the end of September, West-Port Bowling Lanes in Westbrook, Maine, announced that they were ceasing operations.

The bowling alley was one of the oldest in Maine, having operated for nearly 65 consecutive years. But both operational and repair costs had skyrocketed and West-Port decided it was time to say goodbye.

Fast forward just a few short weeks later and there's already a new business poised to take over the space.
