Bowlero at Tysons Galleria

My mom said she liked to bowl. As kids, we also bowled. I haven’t given it much thought until I read somewhere there are five reasons to visit Tysons. Since the wind was howling after a dreadful rainstorm last night we didn’t want to take a morning walk outside. So for the first time in months we decided to drive over to Tysons Galleria to walk there instead. It was always our go to place for inclement weather until the pandemic struck. Now that things are settling down - or at least we are vaccinated and wear masks indoors - a trip to the mall was in order. There has been construction work going on for at least two years or more where the Macy’s three level store once stood. When we walked in today the first thing we noticed was Bowlero - a huge entertainment venue on the main floor. It just opened, but only in afternoon and evening hours. So we peeked through the glass to see what was going on. We didn’t see any bowling alleys as such, but there were signs - along with a lot of other arcade type things to do. For whatever reason it feels sad to go to the mall. I used to love going to Northbrook on the way to Chicago to search for seasonal work and leisure clothes. Now I don’t care what I wear and dread the idea of having to get something if we really need it. At least there is some place for those inclined to go to spend time doing something different. We will just walk past it.
