Putt-Putt Kaput

A Summer 2011 view
Well, I noticed the other day that the old Putt-Putt miniature golf course out on Route 57 near Midway Mall was finally torn down and replaced by a FriendShip Kitchen convenience, food and fuel store. The miniature golf course had been there since around 1978.

For the last twenty years since it closed, it’s been slowly disappearing from view. Here’s a view from 2017.

(I wrote about the Putt-Putt here back in 2017, and the post yielded some nice, informative comments from readers.)

Anyway, the FriendShip store opened in late July, which you can read about here. It looks quite nice.

Although the Putt-Putt there didn’t last, the chain is still around. You can read about its history on the company website.
