Bowling

Urban explorers found an abandoned bowling alley in Illinois that still had the power on and lanes working.

This will not be surprising to you even a little bit, but I've never been considered trendy. That means there's something I do not have in common with an Illinois place that is one of the fastest-growing in America as they combine Italian food, bowling and bocce ball into one experience.

I have an unrealistic wish-list for what I'd love to have in a home. I'd like a basketball court, arcade and a water park. I'd also love to have a bowling alley lined with albums. Guess what. I found such a place and it's really in Wentzville, Missouri.

I've bowled in a lot of places in my life, but never one that looked like an aquarium. I've learned this is very much a possibility in Missouri and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Bowling alleys in Quincy, Palmyra, and Hannibal have teamed up with the “Kids Bowl Free” summer program to allow kids to…well…bowl for free. It’s a very appropriately-named program.
