djadam   10 #1 Posted January 21, 2003 OK, so it's been closed for a few years now, and it's still an empty wreck of a building. I'm trying to find out who owns it so I can see if it's up for sale or lease. Anyone know anything about it, or be able point me in the direction of finding out? Thanks.

RPG Â Â 10 #2 Posted January 21, 2003 thinking of opening a bowling ally? Â please say yes! Â the hollywood bowl is cak and overpriced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
djadam   10 #3 Posted January 21, 2003 Hollywood was never as good as us. I was the DJ there for 5 years, and the place was great. I've heard loads of rumours about the sell-off process, but since it's still an empty space a few of us have our own conspiracy theories! I've had the idea of turning it back into a bowl. Since I've been in the business for over a decade I could make a go of it. Just need to know who owns the building first. I heard it sold for £4 million, but I don't know why anyone would spend that amount of cash and not do anything with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My friends and I think its a dump to be brutally honest, its so oldfashioned! If I remember correctly, it was bought from First Liesure back in the olden days. As it's a small independant, it lacks the financial backing to do it up. I wonder if he'll sell it to me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RPG   10 #6 Posted January 21, 2003 ahh the FASTLANE, that used to be good too  (its quite close to me too)  with the possiblity of tram links being forged to there it might be a business goldmine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
*Twinkle* Â Â 10 #7 Posted January 22, 2003 Fastlane is quite close to me too! It does get a fair bit of business though, despite its oldfashioned appearence... I know a number of schools who have arranged to do offsite Physical Education in association with fastlane. So they do get quite a bit of money really.
