Man, there were so many fucking bowling alleys. Belmont Bowl was near Ashland, I think and Bel-Bowl was further west, maybe around Kedzie. Was it one of those?

Sad to see these old alleys close...I remember fun times at Holiday Bowl a bit farther north on Harlem.

Here's a site with some old Chicago bowling alley history:

does Brunswick buy up these old family alleys and close them so people have to go to their shitty places?

My Mom still bowls at Circle. I used to roll at Striker lanes on Harlem in Forest Park. Place closed years ago and was a Harley Davidson joint for a while.
