Title: Bowling

Helen Newman bowling lanes reopen after an overhaul of all the pin-setting equipment.  Apparently it's the only bowling alley left in town.  https://www.14850.com/051741002-helen-newman-bowling-reopening/

Does Helen Newman still have a bar?

Edit: It does!

Bowling has taken such a hit over the years.. Ithaca went from 4 alleys down to just this small one. At one point Ithaca had one of the dominant bowling communities in the state.

I will consider making the four-hour drive to Ithaca to hand-score my game.

Alternatively, this may be the motivation I need to get my son's SAT scores up.

If the jukebox still has "Strokin'" by Clarence Carter, I'll move in with him.

Hand scoring is a lost skill... The kids something something.
