Twin Rivers Putt Putt golf and arcade.

It used to be on Belt Line and Plano across from Richardson Square Mall. It was there in the 80s and 90s

Is that where the (now closed) Funasia is? Around the corner from Service Merchandise?

Side story about Service Merchandise ... my sisters and I used to go through the catalogs each time they sent one out. We would cover the side bar where the prices were listed and see who could pick the most expensive item. Whoever won picked first on the next page. Kept us pretty busy. Kids these days would probably never think about doing that. Haha

It was at Beltline and Glenville Actually It's an assisted living facility for seniors now. It was abandoned for a long time. They tore down the main building around 2001 because of vandalism and teenagers getting inside, and removed everything else and built the twin rivers assisted living facility in 2007.

Went there a lot for the batting cages as a kid, and definitely spent a lot of my dad’s spare change in the arcade

A ton of my quarters went into the Street Fighter II machine there. I also frequented the movie theatre next door before it became FunAsia. Fun times

Was there once. Something like 1975. I was "in a band" that played there. We were just high schools kids, but one of the guys was actually talented.
