Avid bowlers have a month left to enjoy Ottawa Lanes on Talmadge Road, which is slated to close April 16 to make way for a ribs restaurant.

The bowling center’s closing will occur almost 46 years to the day after it was opened by James Nopper, who said at the time he patterned the operation after developments in Florida and California.

“Part of the reason that motivated him into selling was that he was so drastically impacted by the smoking ban in Toledo,” Mr. Healey said. The anti-smoking law has since been loosened.
