"Bowling? Do you?" Top 5 Page for this destination Saint Louis Local Custom Tip by LauraWest

What is bowling? You roll a heavy large ball down a sleek wooden floor, attempting to knock down the pins at the end of your lane. Best done with several rounds of cold beers! You might enjoy it more on a day when the weather is lousy, or you just need an excuse to get off the couch! The balls are included in the fee & you must wear special shoes. Regular shoes will scuff up the shiny floor. You can rent the shoes;bring your own socks!

Bowling is popular in the St. Louis area, for sure. You'll find many places to do it. They call them "bowling alleys." Some Catholic churches have their own alleys & they seem to be open to anyone. But most alleys are businesses. Most are open late into the night.

I don't know the history of bowling, (though St. Louis has a Bowling History Museum across from Busch Stadium) and wonder how many countries share this "sport." Do they play this where you live? People in my country have been bowling for ages. I remember watching it on tv when I was a kid. I must have been pretty bored to find this entertaining! There was an alley near my house, then. I'd go with friends or family. it was good, clean fun. I am not a pro, by any means. But I have bowled & never regretted it!!
