In my small hometown there used to be a go kart track & mini golf place that closed down a number of years ago. A bank was built in its place.
A few years later a locally popular/famous restaurant unexpectedly closed down, even the cooks & waiters were caught off guard. The owners sold the property to a different bank.
We had one too. It got knocked down to be storage for a construction company, so I have look at the skeleton of it on the side of the freeway every time I pass and think about what might have been. It was awesome. Mini golf, go karts, boat racing, arcade. It was one of my favorite places to go as a child. They also had batting cages which my dad took me to often to practice for little league. The closest ones now for my son are 30 minutes away.
