Bowling at Lanes and Games

I went bowling tonight at Lanes and Games. This is the retro bowling alley near Alewife Station. I went to see what a bowling alley looked like on a sleepy Sunday.

To my surprise the place was hopping. I had to wait about an hour before I could bowl (and I was by myself). I learned that most of the lanes were being used by bowling leagues. Since they had a restaurant/lounge, I killed the time there, sipping at a Bud Light, watching some good frames. By the time I got to play, it felt like going to an amusement park and waiting an hour for a two-minute roller coaster ride. It took me less than ten minutes to bowl my 105.
