Guido M Flor, who resided at 902 Wyoming, owned/managed Broadway Lanes
before building Flor's Bowling Lanes.
Guido Flor retired and Howard and Beth Phillips renamed Flor Bowling Lanes to Sunset Bowling Lanes per the 1975 Polk Directory. Need to confirm this location was initially Broadway Lanes (per 1954 Polk Directory) or a mistake in the listing. Per the 1957 Polk Directory a Gambles Hardware Store was at 1554 9th Street. |
