About Mark Lanes

Disregard what I wrote about Mark Lanes, for what I have heard from a source who attended the Community Board 10 meeting Monday at the Knights of Columbus hall on 13th Ave., the owner of Mark Lanes sold the lease to Century 21 willingly and received a year's free rent and didn't tell anyone about it, leaving patrons to speculate that the owners were being forced to close.

The bowling alley will close Aug. 1 and be replaced by a 280-car parking lot.

My apologies to Century 21, Community Board 10 and to any persons who were asked to sign an online petition. It was a good-faith error.
