Plum Boro, PA. - - - A GoFundMe effort to help Nesbit’s Lanes in Plum exceeded its $100,000 goal with the help of an athletic alumnus.

The page was created Jan. 29 by Verona bowler David Poremba, who heard about how the covid pandemic had caused league games to be canceled and hundreds of players to stay off the lanes weekly.

The fundraising closed Feb. 1 with just under $124,300 raised from about 1,000 donors.

Each time I drive past the once-thriving, now fenced-off-and-shuttered Golden Pin Lanes on Miracle Mile, it is a sobering reminder how fleeting sports and business success can be.

Over the last 10 months, it wasn’t just deserted Golden Pin Lanes that created those melancholy feelings. Fiesta Lanes, whose parking lot on River Road always seemed to be packed, was empty. So was the historic Lucky Strike Bowl on Speedway and the far east side’s long-vibrant Tucson Bowl.

Bowling was fading fast.
