What they've, a 38,000-square-foot bowling alley in Wyoming Valley was constructed in 1998 after Hurricane Agnes demolished another center close to the Susquehanna River that began in 1972.
Elizabeth and John Chacko Sr., who had been 45 and 44 at the time, had only signed the paperwork to begin converting the company on their own. You can get the services of a bowling alley eatery whenever needed.
To rescue his company, John Sr. chose a ship and went out into the river. He piled sandbags about the construction, however, the levee broke, and it was destroyed.
The remainder of the household was home, along with a boy with muscular dystrophy and a girl with lupus wasn't going to go into a storm.
So, the Chacko sons, Daniel, and John Jr., who were 15 and 17 at the time, were digging out clearing and sand floodwater together with neighbors.
"We needed to select the bowling lanes and then cut them in segments and then we place them apart using crowbars," Daniel says.
"We carried out the pieces into the curb and individuals picked up them with loaders and took away stuff. We needed to take off flooring and ceiling tiles and pretty much just empty the entire construction.
The family recovered the company by the river. They then proceeded places 26 decades after.
Another unexpected tragedy would endanger the Chacko household business almost 50 decades later.
On March 15, 2020, the bowling center closed under the belief that it would be available 15 days after as a result of the first"prevent the spread" protocol. They talked it over and pictured that fourteen days was a fair period to stop operations.
