Unless Mr. Healy had some connection to Manitowoc, I find it curious to see this grand opening ad in the Manitowoc newspaper. Seems like a long drive to visit a bar or to go bowling. Nevertheless, it became a downtown institution for many years, seeing service as Gundi's in its last days.
I remembered this place as soon as I saw the pictures. My father bowled on a league at Gundi's. I'll never forget that it had only 10 lanes and those wooden benches. Thanks for a great memory!
