Apollo is on Gratiot north of 12 Mile across from the former site of the old Topper/Leisure Lanes. Timber was at 9 Mile-ish.

Anyone remember Timber Lanes in East Detroit [[Eastpointe)?

Yes, Gratiot just north of Nine mile.

Used to holda tournament, cannot recall the name, proceeds went to Deceased Police officers families. The last night of the tournament the lanes were open all night. One time bowled all night got home 7 AM on Sunday.
This was back in the 70's.

Help me out here with the name.

I remember that tournament Slick. Ughh, I can't recall the name either right now. I may have some old Bowler's Digests around I can scour.
