News About Town: The lobby and Records Division of the Matthews Police Station will undergo renovations starting next week. The location of the renovations means the front door to the station will not be open to the public. The department has installed a call box by the door, simply press the button and a department representative will assist you. The renovations are expected to take six to eight weeks. If you need to dispose of medicine, the drop box will be unavailable during this time. Instead, The CVS Pharmacy at 1305 Matthews Township Parkway is an authorized DEA Take-Back location.
News Around Town: This Saturday, head over to the bowling alley for the grand opening of Bowlero, 11210 Brigmans Rd. Embracing all the fun of bowling with just the right amount of throwback style, Bowlero isn’t the old smoke-filled bowling alley of by-gone decades. For the grand opening, there are drink specials and free bowling, but you have to RSVP. Judging by their website, The Dude abides.
Don’t Forget: Community members are invited to the Fourth Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, a collaborative event organized by Matthews United Methodist and Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist churches. The film and walk to Town Hall will start at 2:00 pm on January 19, at Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist (381 Crestdale Road).
