Check out the Diamond Bowl, located near Edwardsburg, MI. This bowling alley sign integrates the bowling pin into the side facade of the building.
The Bel Air Bowl in Belleville, IL still sports its marquee advertising its 24 lanes and lounge area. 10-05 Update 10-07 : The Bel Air Bowl is now closed. See below for more info. Many thanks to Dennis Dixson for update. 10-07
Here's a rather colorful sign at the Panorama Lanes. This bowling alley marquee is a great example of a roadside treasure that has fought the test of time. 10-05 Update 10-07 : The Panorama Lanes bowling alley in Belleville, IL is now Bel-Air Bowl. There was another Bel-Air Bowling Lanes on the other side of town which closed and moved in place of the Panorama Bowl. They remodeled the neon sign which brought it back to life but in my opinion it is not quite as nice. More info can be found at http://www.belairbowl.com/. Many thanks to Dennis Dixson for update. 10-07
The Pin-up Bowl in St Louis, Mo is a new era bowling alley. By the looks of the marquee atop the roof, this bowling alley was built along the same lines as its predecessors. 10-05

Check out this old sign for Mr. Bill's Bowling Center, located in Columbus, OH. 04-06
Housed in the rear of a massive building, this 32 lane bowling alley called Evergreen Towers Bowl contained a lounge and a billiard parlor. A mattress store, optometrist and P.J. Flaherty's night club occupied the front part of the building. Three neon signs graced the building, two of them can be seen in this photo. The White Way Sign Company provided this sign for the east side of the building advertising Towers Lounge. The bowling ball on top was motorized and an 8 ball was painted on the other side. 04-07
Like many other Chicago bowling alleys, Maplewood Bowling Lanes shut their doors in the mid 1990's. The sign structure was repainted brown and reused by the next business, minus the bowling pin of course. This one was manufactured by Lynch Sign Company. 06-07
