D Magazine's Front Burner reports ... "Jupiter Lanes gets rolling again" ...

Catherine let me know about this, as they say, 'news item' from the pages of D Magazine's Front Burner blog:

'Last summer, we named Jupiter Lanes "Best Bowling and Beer" and wrote the following:

"Forget about those impersonal bowling megaplexes with more than 100 lanes. Jupiter has 24, making it one of the smallest, homiest, and oldest — the place opened in ’57 — bowling alleys around. Bumper bowling was invented here, and, cooler still, if you go on a Thursday evening, you’ll pay a $5 cover, $1 for shoes, $1 per game, and $1 for a 10-ounce beer. And if you order a pitcher, it comes with a frozen core that keeps it cold till you drain it. 11336 Jupiter Rd. 214-328-3266."

'Then Jupiter promptly closed. Sadness ruled the land. Today, though, all FBvians can rejoice. For Jupiter is reopening this week. Hosanna!'

Now, we all know how much we can trust the Liberal Media and I don't have independent confirmation of this fact ... yet - though I did receive a voice mail message from a Dallas Morning News reporter looking to talk about the re-opening of Jupiter Lanes, so maybe it's true.

Which is to say, who's up for a round of White Russians this weekend at the Lanes?
