A look back: Bowling center breaks ground

If you've ever lived in Hanover, it's likely when someone asks if you want to go bowling that the Hanover Bowling Centre is one of the first places that comes to mind.

Even for myself, it was almost an annual ritual as a Hanover High School student to go night bowling at the Hanover Bowling Centre after a Homecoming dance or other event.

With that in mind, coming across this photo from 1974, when ground was first broken on the bowling alley, was a bit amusing! To this day, 50 years later, it still remains a popular spot in town.
