FORMER DIABLO LANES SHUTS DOWN

The California governor’s prolonged shutdown of businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed yet another bowling center.

Pins & Pizza in the Northern California community of Concord — known as Diablo Lanes through most of its existence — has closed for good, according to local reports.

The center shut down in October amid rumors that it might continue with a new operator, but those hopes apparently were dashed in late November when the building was put up for lease.
