Poll: What Do You Wish Were Here? The Bow Rack

The indoor archery range shut down for good at the end of March. What do you think should replace it? Share your thoughts in the comments.

The sudden closure of has left a large and prominent building empty on Escobar Street. The expansive space, which encompasses four buildings totaling 20,954 square feet, became an archery range in December 2008 when owners Bob and Judy Yerman moved The Bow Rack from San Pablo. 

The Xtreme Archery JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) program formerly held at The Bow Rack is being relocated, according to a sign posted on the building. Contact xtremearcheryjoad@gmail.com for more information. 

Bob Yerman told the Martinez News-Gazette that he closed up shop "for personal reasons."
