Looks like a new Family Fun Center place is going into the old Party City called Blue Galaxy. I saw that there has been work going on at the old at Home store and it has recently sold but couldn't find too much info on it. Construction on the new Cobalt bank here is also going up fast.

didnt think of that at all, but it's something the city could use. We have the theatre, a putt-putt place, bowling alley, and joe's karting, but not much else in the way of entertainment options. It will be nice to have something in town like that

true- i didn't think of it earlier. I wonder if the new place will be more arcade like or more bounce oriented?
