Sugar Bowl Lanes Burns Down!

No! This is a substantial part of Belen's film heritage!:

Fire officials are still trying to determine what caused a historic building in Belen to burn down Sunday morning.

The abandoned building was once home to Sugar Bowl Lanes.

"My husband could smell smoke, and he came in the bedroom and said, 'Frances, the bowling alley is on fire,'" said Sugar Bowl Lanes owner Frances Romero. "I looked out the window and it was orange from the front to the back. "

Romero's parents were the original owners of the bowling alley.

"We just came out. I can't believe it. I cannot....I cannot believe it," she said.
