On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, Cailyn Patterson , lead multimedia designer and photographer, Greta Smith , sales and account manager, and I made the drive to visit the Pinz family. Upon entering the small town bowling alley, the 605 team was greeted with a heartwarming, handwritten sign stating, “Pinz Welcomes 605 Magazine .” From that moment on, the girls and I knew it was going to be a memorable visit. McCoy greeted us with eagerness—ready to share his story and what Pinz is known for. “We’re not a traditional bowling alley,” shared McCoy. “We’re trying to reinvent the image of what a bowling alley can be.” Pinz boasts eight original wood lanes that are meticulously maintained by the staff. McCoy shares that they proudly stand as one of few establishments in the area to preserve the timeless tradition. But Pinz isn’t stuck in the past. The new ownership has expanded the business to be paired with an arcade, axe throwing, pinball, and casino dubbed Lottery Lane . While I was conducting my interview with McCoy, Patterson and Smith headed downstairs to get their game on—specifically in pinball. McCoy says one thing that truly sets Pinz apart from other bowling alleys is its commitment to a new culinary experience. The food menu focuses on going beyond typical bowling alley dishes with fresh and local ingredients. “We make so many of our offerings in-house,” shared McCoy. “We want to take care of you like family.” Casey McCoy
