San Diego is home to many a bowling alley. See them at Roadside Peek's Ten Pin Alleys San Diego.
To the left is the fantastic marquee of the Garden Square Bowl. Now an Asian strip mall, the Garden Square Bowl was home to many a 300 game in its day. Unfortunately, the huge marquee no longer stands to catch the eye of passing motorists along Garden Grove Boulevard. Has an era just passed? Many thanks to Roman Saienni for clarification on name of this bowling alley.
Here's a nice bowling alley that's still pretty much intact... and busy. Friendly Hills Bowl features a tall marquee.
Check out the architecture on the Simi Bowl. The front facade is a throwback to the mid-century era.
Ah, the good ol' ten pin alley. Dating back to before World War II, bowling alleys were popular hangouts. This popularity continued through the postwar years and many new bowling venues opened during this period. Thus, a common roadside site for many years has been the neighborhood "tiki" bowl or "googie" lanes. The Covina Bowl is a fine example of this type of establishment.
The marquee for the Hollywood Stars Lanes is befit for a Hollywood star. The nicely kept bowling pin sign also lights up at night. Update : This bowling alley was shut down in the latter part of 2002 to make way for a new school.
The Kona Lanes bowling alley still features vintage styled marquee and alley. Check out the cool tiki lettering on its immense sign outside.
