Bop'N'Bowl IX

Bop'N'Bowl IX was a very nice affair. The bands --- 52 Pickup, King Teddy, and the Hula Monsters --- kept everyone entertained. This was very low key -- folks bowled, talked and danced in about equal amounts. Only about 200 people showed up during the course of the evening, so we got to keep our lane for the entire evening. That's too bad, in a way, because this is an authentic late 1950s duckpin bowling alley that has not really ben altered that much. It really is historic space, and it comes to life when crowds come dressed in retro bowling shirts. It will be gone soon, a victim to the over-development of Arlington. I, for one, will miss it.
