ABC East Bowling Lanes up in Smoke
Went to bed last night at 03:00 hours and got up this morning at 12:00 hours. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes. I then read the paper. I then ate lunch while I watched All My Children on TV. When we turned the TV on, ABC27 had the ticker scrolling along the bottom of the screen. It said about the ABC East Bowling lanes were on fire. I saw pictures of it and it was a very working fire. I have good memories of that place. When my brother was going to Central Pennsylvania Business School (now college) in 1995 and 1996, during the summer when I would spend the summer with my grandparents, he always used to tale me bowling at the ABC East Bowling Lanes. Now it has burned to the ground and was demolished as of tonight. I then got on my computer at 14:00 hours and me and my mother went over some ring tones for her new cell phone. I then left for the fire house at 17:15 hours. Once up there I went in to the call and a few of the people said it felt cold in the hall and they turned the heat up. I went back and heard the furnace running. A few minutes later I heard one of them say they heard water running. Bill had showed up by that time and I asked him for his flashlight and went back to check. Sure enough there was about 1 to 1-1/2" of water on the floor around the furnace. There was a pipe coming out of the top of the furnace and there was water running out of that. LeeAnn then showed up and I told her to call Bubba and let him know what was going on. He called Matt Faust and Matt said he would stop down later on tonight. Well needless to say he never stopped in. Bingo went good and actually a few of us were actually starting to get hot. I called the second half of bingo and ended up setting up the small fan we keep in the bingo room as I was that hot. We ended up shutting the water off before we left so it would not keep running out of the furnace. I left there at 21:50 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
