Here is a note from the seller: My parents had a bowling alley with a lounge and event center on the southeast corner. We had a lot of lake traffic customers who stopped for fuel at Speedway...and spirits at Jolly Lanes. There was also a lot of truck traffic because of Speedway...which also, at one time, had a restaurant.
