I used to go there when I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night/early morning and roll a couple of games to clear my head.

Sad when they finally switched over to synthetic lanes.
Pretty much every alley (that's still standing) in SoCal has them nowadays. Just the sign of the times.

Kinda like switching over to reactive resin from using urethane most of your adult life. You just adapt and eventually find your "groove" again.

As for equipment,
I guess I'm the oddball that still likes using Lane #1 but should really try some of the newer stuff.
Current arsenal: Buzzbomb, Agent Orange, Big Curve.
Spare: Blue Diamond and an Ebonite Skull. (Sucker for Mystery Men...)

It's nice to see so many pinball loving bowlers on here btw!

Average is still floating around 203.

Haha, yeah. I guess that's true. Hence why I specifically added the "adult" tidbit to my bowling timeline.

Don't get me wrong though.
I would've loved to have battled Dick Weber in his prime throwing some classic frozen rope.
Although, I seem to bowl (and dress) more like Guppy Troup these days.

We should hit up the ol' Kona Lanes soon!
Oh, wait...

At least we can visit part of the sign in Cincinnati.
