Bay Bowl

Day 25 of 365

Everyday I drive by this Bremerton institution. I kept telling myself I would stop and get a picture of the signage, it just stands out to me. Not just because it's an amazing 15 foot sign atop a 40 foot column of brick. Mostly because I fondly remember spending many nights here drinking and bowling with good friends. Certainly more drinking then bowling.

This is the only bowling alley I have ever been in where I was shown behind the lanes where I saw the massive nostalgic machinery that makes all that bowling shit happen. Clunking gears, clanking metal on metal and bowling balls rushing down the lanes and crashing through the pins and into the chute. Quite a memorable site.

What I wouldn't give to get my camera in there today.
