I visited my in-laws over Christmas in Three Rivers. Right down the street from their home, the Metro @ Maplelane project is finally getting underway. This under-utilized strip development has sat derelict for decades along N. Main and has lately served mostly as a site for drivers ed. tests. It is finally getting new life. The Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce will anchor the redevelopment, with space for other commercial businesses planned. Not crazy about the new name, but this is a positive improvement for an old-school strip mall.
I believe the barrel-roofed portion was at one time a bowling alley and / or roller rink. I can almost make out the word "bowl" on the old signage that has been uncovered. There is some funky mid-century detailing. I wonder what relics are hidden within.
