Fewer bingo halls than ever.

I have been wanting to go to bingo for a good while now but I do have the problem of finding a place to go to. There are so many of our local bingo halls that have shut down and I dont know of any new ones that have started up.

I will have to call a friend of mine to see where bingo is these days and then make a trip there to play.

I've only noticed one local bingo hall that has shut down. Well, within driving distance.

I think we have had three or four bingo halls that we could drive to in the past, and a few years ago one of the larger ones had shut down.

I haven't noticed if the small one has shut down or not. It's about a 20 minute drive from here, and we had played there the most.

As for the other one or two other local bingo halls we have played at in the past, I forget where they were since we haven't gone to bingo for a few years now.

We still have a few bingo halls near here but to play more than twice a week you have to drive further to get to other bingo halls and Im just not up to the drive back after playing bingo. I would be found along the road asleep in the car.

Living in Michigan I am seeing the same thing. I did see however that Firekeepers Casino has bingo. This past friday they had a special. $10 a packet. That is resonable just like the old bingo halls. Sadly its a 45 min drive from where I live. I would have gone but my daughter had to work that night and I hate going alone.

I haven't been to bingo in ages. I don't even know where to go except to St. Marys. I guess I will have to check and see if there are any more open in this area. I sure hope so, I used to love going to bingo.

I can still go to the one in Moundsville, but its way to far to drive. And I wont go alone either.

There are some places that have a bus service. I have seen groups take trips to the casinos maybe you could do it that way. I miss the local bingo halls. The fire departments have them more often than other places as it helps them build revenue.

Thanks for the tip on the bus trips. That never crossed my mind. I will think about it and if I decide to go, I will come back here and tell you all about the trip and the games, and of course, whether or not I won.
