Bella Luna and the Milkyway Lounge & Lanes

Well, You might have heard that the Milkyway Lounge and Lanes are losing their "lanes" and moving to the Brewery area of JP. And to mourn the old spot and celebrate the re-birth there is a big New Orlean's style parade leaving the Milkyway at 1pm, Sunday, March 22 We'll be marching to their new location at the Brewery over off of Amory Street. Everyone is welcome. Bring an instrument.

We're sorry to see The Milkyway leave its 15 year location (rediculous rent increase from the landlord, "he who shall not be named" ) and are hoping despite our feelings that the lanes and the lounge won't stay empty. I think we all have a secret desire it does...but that doesn't help our community to have a vacant store front.

The new location will have their entertainment and liquor license and will have a wonderful "U" shaped bar and lounge area. The restaurant will have over 150 seats and there is a large outdoor patio around the old Heffenreffer smoke stack. They'll be djs spinning, and a function room and of course, no room for bowling but there will be skee bowl...

We're very excited about the transformation and the long lease they signed... they won't be moving until I'm well retired. Opening day will be mid-April...

So, come, help celebrate their move and transformation and ring in the old and ring in the new with instruments and lively marching.
