Bowling center opens

Bob Patel, co-owner of the Pin Strikes family fun center, beamed as Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield joined Chattanooga’s business elite on a tour of Patel’s upscale Lee Highway attraction in mid-December.

“I’m glad it’s in Brainerd. I can walk here,” Littlefield joked to developer Emerson Russell, who helped back the 24-bowling lane project.

Workers still were making adjustments to the lighting, which comes alive during cosmic bowling on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

James Garrett, 9, recently rode the bumper cars while his mother looked on.

“It’s a good environment for kids and a good family atmosphere,” she said.
