Detroit Bowling Alleys

When I was going to Cass Tech in 1963-66, we would sometimes be taken to Pla-Moor Lanes to go blowing instead of going to our normal gym class. It was on Henry, between 2nd and 3rd. I didn't remember the name of the place until I saw it listed on the Detroit Memories bowling alley listings. What ever happened to that place?

Paul Case was the Pla-Mor proprietor. It probably ceased as a bowling alley not long after you graduated from Cass Tech. By the 1970's, a small party store and market selling meats were in there. The Pla-Mor had 8 lanes. In the 50's, they had leagues with bowlers that worked downtown as well as neighborhood people. The parking on Henry could be tight because of the apartment buildings on the block.
