LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — It’s a dilemma no business owner should have to face: whether to reopen after a mass shooting. The answer didn’t come easily to Justin and Samantha Juray. But when they did decide to reopen their Maine bowling alley, they didn’t hold back. The reopening on Friday comes six months after a gunman killed eight people at the bowling alley before driving to a nearby bar and pool hall and killing 10 more. Patrons were welcomed with messages of resilience at the end of each lane, bright paint on the walls and new floors. The Lewiston venue has undergone a complete makeover, giving it a vibrant, airy feel.
