That's Cedar Lanes ... which is also known as ... the bowling alley in my hometown of Lebanon PA ... and it's "[soon to be] gone" because it will still be operating fully until next May.
But after that, it will be replaced by a shopping center to "include a fast food restaurant without a drive-thru window and a fast-casual restaurant with a drive-thru window." (I would imagine that hometown folks are parsing that language to figure out what food options will actually be available next summer.) Seeing as how I'm not going to be home again until the *fall* of 2016, that means this image I found on the google will be my last view of the place where I used to take Jakey to the attached arcade back in the day ... (and where I probably bowled a few times).
Hometown "historic" site of my youth ... like the Key DriveIn and the Casino Roller Rink before you ... soon enough, you will be missed.
