AMF Broadway Lanes and Dairy Queen - Littleton, CO
When Auto Nation needs to manifest destiny, bowling alleys and Dairy Queens must fall. In the spring of 2015, progress struck the city of Littleton and they lost the AMF Lanes at 5485 South Broadway. With the longtime neighboring Dairy Queen falling shortly after... According to the sign, AMF Broadway Lanes closed after 60 years at this location. I'm not sure how long the bowling alley shared part it's parking lot with a very small Dairy Queen, but from the look of both buildings, I'm thinking they were nearly roommates for most -if not all- of those 60 years. And here they were near the end... December 25, 2013. Dairy Queen is closed up for the winter (as it did every winter), sitting in front of the AMF Lanes. Painted in the most familiar (to me), blue and white color scheme. December 25, 2014. Exactly one year later, the AMF Lanes building has been dramatically re-painted. With a giant red "BOWL" on the wall. Next door to the AMF is Auto Nation Jeep. Currently
