The spotlight still shines on Allen Park tonight. Groundbreaking is expected to take place this month on the city's new movie studio. And Allen Park will also take centerstage soon on ESPN. My TV 20's Dave Leval shows us why.

Jason Belmonte continues working on his form. The Australian native hopes to bowl you over when he returns to the Motor City in August. He's among those who will gather for the inaugural World Series of Bowling. Belmonte joins tournament organizers at Allen Park's "Thunderbowl" Lanes to announce the event.

Tom Clark, C.O.O., Professional Bowlers Association
"Detroit is the bowling capitol of the world. There are more bowlers and bowling centers in the Detroit area than anywhere else in the country."

Tom Strobl/Owner, "Thunderbowl"
"This is the equivalency for us at Thunderbowl of securing a U.S. Open, like Oakmont did recently for a golfing venue."

The competition begins August 2-6 with the Motor City Open at Taylor Lanes in Taylor. The action then moves to "Thunderbowl" for the World Series of Bowling that runs thru September 6th. Belmonte is among the hundreds of bowlers from around the world who will compete. It marks the first time professional bowlers will spend an extended period of time in one city. Belmonte tells us the new format makes it easier to compete.

Jason Belmonte/Professional Bowler
"You get one air ticket to one city, one hotel, it makes life easier for us bowlers."

Belmonte is "sparing" nothing as he tries to become the world's best bowler. In Allen Park, Dave Leval, My TV 20 News at 10.

More than 2 million dollars will be on the line during the tournament. Proceeds from the event will go to Goodwill.
