Pretty much perfect old school bowling alley suffering from the tyrannical reign of AMF. Me and Christown Lanes would be best friends if it weren't for the absolutely awful prices here.
At AMF lanes, you can find some specials for 1.50 games and such, but only at times like before noon and after 9pm on a Sunday. If you show up for a Sunday matinee like I did yesterday you have to pay 4.25 a game and 4.25 for shoe rental. Bowling is a perfect escape from the summer heat, but not when it costs you around 10 bux an hour. I'll make sure to keep going to Sunset Bowl, which has 2.25 games all day Sunday with 2.75 shoe rental.
The other really sketchy thing about this bowling alley is the huge bar which is used as Horse Race den with all the atmosphere of a public library. I got about half way to the bar yesterday before I got scared and turned back because of all the dirty looks I was receiving for getting in the way between all the compulsive gamblers staring at the 19 inch screens on the walls showing the races. They also didn't seem to like the noise my shoes made from walking on the ground. They appear to favor DEAD SILENCE.
Top off the experience with having a go at the air hockey table which costs a dollar a game and is broken in ways I didn't think an air hockey table could be.
