What's going to happen to the Fitness Dome now? I hope it doesn't become an eyesore like just across the highway Silk Stocking has. I'd love to see it turned into something useful rather than sit vacant and rot away.
My guess would be 1) nothing or 2) a megachurch. I've heard that the agreement with Gold's eliminated it ever being a gym again.
Shame. For a long time it was the best gym in town.
Megachurch for ants, maybe--it's smaller than even, say, Peace Lutheran Church, which is not large. How large do you think that building really is?
Looking at Google Earth, it looks like it would make more sense to demolish it and connect the parking lot with that road near the hotels/Marco's Pizza/office building at the southwest corner of Graham Road, and then build something like a fast food establishment on the remaining space.
I've been in a couple of the area's nondenominational churches, and the fitness dome rivals their space. The large, open main area, with balcony, would be a good fit for services. Few establishments, other than a gym or a church, could utilize the basketball court.
The main problem with using the space as a church is parking. I'd wager their parking lot has (w/ Christian Bros) has ... 100 spaces? Not enough, and not much in the way of street parking, either.
