Ep 9. Marion Bowling Alley

In Salvage Dawgs season 6 episode 9, titled "Marion Bowling Alley," the team travels to Marion, Virginia to salvage items from an abandoned bowling alley. The bowling alley, originally built in the 1950s, has been closed for several years and the building is now scheduled for demolition. The Salvage Dawgs team is given limited time to remove everything they can salvage before the bulldozers arrive.

The team is excited to explore the unique items within the bowling alley, such as vintage bowling equipment, an old soda fountain bar, and retro signage. They carefully remove items from the building, using their expertise to disassemble and salvage as much as possible. Mike and Grayson take on the challenge of removing the vintage bowling lanes themselves, using a saw to carefully cut them into sections.

As they work, the team discusses the history of bowling alleys and how they've changed over the years. They also marvel at the unique architecture of the building, with its distinctive mid-century modern design and large windows that let in natural light.

The Salvage Dawgs team works quickly to remove as many salvaged items as possible, with the knowledge that they must leave the building clear for demolition crews. They load up their truck with vintage bowling pins, wooden benches, and other unique items, all with the intention of restoring or repurposing them for new projects.

Throughout the episode, the team encounters challenges such as rusted bolts and heavy equipment, but they persevere and manage to successfully salvage many valuable items from the bowling alley. The episode concludes with the team loading up their truck and bidding farewell to the old building, filled with nostalgia for a bygone era of bowling.
