Corbin Cove Location: Gahanna Bowling Alley & Navarino Skating Rink

Welcome back to Corbin Cove, readers! Continuing our tour of this lovely coastal community, we'll visit two of the more popular recreation facilities the town has to offer: Gahanna Bowling Alley and Navarino Skating Rink.

These two facilities share a parking lot which acts as a dividing line and battlefield for them. The bowling alley and skating rink are the Hatfields and McCoys of Corbin Cove. They feud frequently, usually over the parking lot. Many citizens have been caught in the crossfire during their battles. Depending on whether the sanitation workers are on strike or not, the parking lot is often littered with the bodies of these unlucky citizens.

We're not sure how the feud started. All we know is that one day the two decided to stage a war that seemed to be over the parking lot and the temporary fatalities climbed. No one, not even The Devil's Advocate or The Peerless Prosecutor, could help solve the issue between them and the fatalities continued. Their war waged on. 

Anyone visiting either location risked being killed or wounded in the war between Gahanna and Navarino. Those who were able to enter, though, had the time of their lives and were able to enjoy glow-in-the-dark bowling or skating depending on which place they went to. In addition, they are able to enjoy a variety of foods such as nachos, fries, pretzels, burgers, and hotdogs, and popular music. Both locations provide a fun family atmosphere.

Gahanna Bowling Alley boasts several bowling teams and has a league night where the teams compete to win a trophy and bragging rights. Many of the teams sport scars from their narrow escapes and encounters with the Navarino Skating Rink roller-derby teams who act as soldiers in the war and try to prevent the bowling teams from practicing. Of course, the bowling teams aren't innocent in this and can often be found injuring or maiming the roller-derby team members and patrons of the skating rink. 

The war so far has been contained to the parking lot and not spilled over, though it isn't uncommon for a bowler to give a skater a dirty look when their paths cross and the skaters will often blame bowlers for anything that happens to be an inconvenience to them that day. 


That's all for this tour of Corbin Cove. The next time we'll be taking a look at the last organization in Corbin Cove worth noting: the town council.
