If not what was it before?
If I recall correctly, the rink was located more toward the left of the building with the bowling alley on the right, with the gymnastics area in the back.TexAg1987 said:
As stated earlier, It was Wolf Pen Bowling and had a Roller skating Rink in the back.
I believe there was a short period of time when it had indoor batting cages and a simulated skydiving somewhere around back.

It was originally the first Lowest store in B/CS.
It closed and was turned into the bowling alley when the one at Chimney Hill moved there and it became Wolf Pen.
From what I could tell, the go-cart track existed in the latter half of the 1980s, and Wolfe Nursery was there from c. 1993 to 1998, according to when it was built and when Wolfe Nursery started to close stores en masse. Cavender's opened in 2004, that's a fact.taxpreparer said:
And at some point, a go-cart track.

Wickes Lumber was at Wellborn and 2818.Rexter said:
Wasn't 84 Lumber around Wellborn/2818?
Furrow was where lock n roll is.
I don't know, I NEVER remember it being an 84 Lumber. It was a faded sign as far back as I could remember (mid-1990s) with xxxxCO or xxxCOM, then maybe one or two things past 1999 before Moore Supply Co. moved in. I don't quite remember when Moore Supply Co. and the "Bath & Kitchen Showplace" moved in. I want to say 2003 or 2004. This was the same route I took to school every day starting from 1997 up until they closed off that connection in 2009, and I'd remember it being an 84 Lumber (I sure do remember the changes that went with the gas station).Rexter said:
I seem to recall seeing the red 84 sign not very long ago on the plumbing supply building
Yep. Cavender's was in the Toys R Us parking lot before that.PS3D said:From what I could tell, the go-cart track existed in the latter half of the 1980s, and Wolfe Nursery was there from c. 1993 to 1998, according to when it was built and when Wolfe Nursery started to close stores en masse.

Fun fact: Bill Clinton lifted that civil service band less than a decade later.UmustBKidding said:
One of the original Lowes managers was a guy that worked in the Easterwood control tower, and was fired by Ronald Regan during the PATCO strike. When he got the Lowes job he talked a lot of smack about how this was going to be better than than the government jobs that he was now ineligible to hold. I had to bite my tongue when he was shown the door when they closed that location.
