Dartmouth icon Beazley’s Bowling Lanes (613 Main Street) broke many nostalgic hearts last week when it announced via its website it would be closed for good as of Halloween. Offering good times in the form of mini-putt, bowling and cold beers since 1927, the Halifamous hangout was forced to close due to an increase in taxes and maintenance costs for the property. Saying goodbye can be so hard, but you can dull the blow by buying up your favourite memories from the bowling alley—pins, balls and hopefully some glow-in-the-dark accessories will be for sale from Monday to Friday, 10am-3pm, for the next two weeks.

It is not in Dartmouth and hasn’t been for well over a decade. Westphal would be more accurate.
wrong, it’s in dartmouth. see: beazley’s own address.
Hello Joeblow, Westphal isn’t it’s own community, neither is Woodside, or Woodlawn or Portland Hills. It’s all Dartmouth dude
Stephanie & B Roc – it is not within the boundaries of what was Dartmouth, it is in what was the county.
And it isn’t within the Dartmouth census tracts, tracts 0100.000 to 0114.00, and the boundaries of the tracts are traditional boundaries of the City of Dartmouth.
And parts of Portland Hills are in what was Halifax County, the bus terminal is one example.
Statscan likes to be accurate because it is essential for historical reasons.
The bowling alley used to be in downtown Dartmouth.
