The Westminster Lanes is still open for business. Though its marquee
is not of the space age variety, it's still a classic sign for a classy
alley.

A rather googie looking bowling alley, the Mission Hills Bowl features multiple boomerangs with space age lunar holes. This googie alley was designed by Martin Stern Jr. and built in 1957.

Here's a bowling alley that still appeared to do brisk business, even
in the rain. The Bayshore Bowl is one of the last survivors
of the ten pin alley heyday in Southern California and hopefully will
remain.

The marquee for the Corbin Bowl still sits high above Ventura
Boulevard. Best of all, this marquee still lights up the night. Corbin Bowl is located in Tarzana

this marquee.
