Mission Local brings us the good news:

There’s no opening date just yet, but strikes are in the Mission Bowling Club’s [17th and South Van Ness] near future.

Apart from some finishing touches, the staff of 50 has been hired and trained.

Everyone is now just waiting to hear that the venue has passed the last inspections before they open the doors to the neighborhood’s first bowling alley.

Hurrah!

And what is the operation going to look like?

[Anthony Myint, whose operating the kitchen] sees this area of the Mission as a new micro-hood, and thinks someone should come up with a name for it. A few blocks away, new businesses have recently opened, including Southern Pacific Brewery, and Flour + Water’s market is scheduled to open soon.

The bowling alley’s menu will include the popular Mission Burger, as well as bar snacks such as homemade beef jerky and food on sticks.

Happy hour will be from 3 to 6 p.m., and dinner service from 6 to 11 p.m. on weekdays. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, the alley will close at midnight. Prices will range from $35 to $55 per lane per hour.

Don't worry, Anthony, I'm sure the Bold Italic is already on the case.

(Also, !!!!!)
