Upcoming Events

Public Debate Tuesday March 1; 7pm-9pm

The two-hour educational debate, set to begin at 7 p.m., will be held at the Gretchen Inn banquet facility 4200 S. Grand at Meramec, which has been donated for the event by The Feasting Fox restaurant. The debate is co-sponsored by the Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Association and the Dutchtown South Community Corporation. The League of Women Voters is moderating the debate.

Public Meet & Greet Wednesday March 2; 5pm-8pm

Local Architect Frank Scherr is hosting a meet & greet at his office/home located at 3137 Meramec (across from St. Anthony of Padua). Refreshments will be served. Stop by, have a drink and chat with Steve Patterson. This is not a fundraiser so we won’t be asking for money – just good conversation!

Former Western Bowl Listed with Cushman & Wakefield for $975,000

As most of know the AMF Western Bowl closed its doors at the end of January. What we don’t know is what will become of the property. Dorothy Kirner has mentioned in recent meetings 3 potential buyers to meet with the owner in June. I had heard from other sources the lanes were being ripped up. I wanted to find out for myself what was going on.

I spoke to workers from AMF that were removing the equipment from the building. All the seating, scoring tables and ball return equipment has already been removed.

The pin equipment is all being dismantled as well. AMF is gutting the structure of all bowling equipment with the exception of the wood lanes.

As you can see the wood lanes are split by the former runs of the ball return equipment.

Conveniently the listing agent, Joseph Porcelli, was on site and I was able to gather more information from him:
• Listed with Cushman & Wakefield of Missouri, 314-514-0600
• List price is $975,000

City property records indicate the property has 2.229 acres and the building was built in 1962 and has 34,301sf. I don’t have any more detail on the building at this point but clearly the owner is actively removing all the bowling equipment.

Public infrastructure such as this sewer cover and the sidewalks need to be addressed. I would like the opportunity to, as Alderman, work with buyers/developers to make this property an asset to the Ward.
