Just as a side note the ball return I filmed was not functioning how it should the one on the other side worked as it is suppose to, once it hits that ring its suppose to stop then slowly enter the area with the other balls so they dont smack into each other...Also I didn't mention it in the video but half the balls here are rubber...

Wonder how many pin setters had their shins sent to the shadow realm

[wesleyfeickert]

We have the same type of bowling alley but it’s candle pins instead

Looks like same Bowling Alley that was used in making of one Hillbilly Moon Explosion videos.

Very cool. Hope this place is still open.

How much quieter is it than a regular alley? Seems like not having to listen to the whirl of 20 ball return machines would be nice.

I was always curious why there was the hole on the bottom of the pins

$15 and you have to setup the pins yourself... I get people complaining at our center about $14 for two hours of bowling and its done by a pinsetter obviously..

This is the kind of bowling alley I wouldn't mind owning someday. I've been bowling off and on for a little over forty years. The good thing about this one is the fact you don't have mechanical problems that modern bowling alleys have.

My dad used to set pins in Fairmont, West Virginia in the 1940 and moved to Detroit, MI. after high school. He was drafted into U.S. Navy and served on heavy cruiser USS Louisville CA 28 from 1943-46 in the Pacific War. He passed in 2017 at age 92. Thank you for your video.

We sadly lost a near 100 year old bowling alley in Baltimore not to long ago. The Patterson Bowling Lanes were in the Fells Point neighborhood, and were duckpins lanes that had been opened since the mid 1920s. Babe Ruth had bowled there, among other noteworthy people. I grew up around the corner from there and went to the bowling alley countless numbers of times.

It closed at the end of 2022/beginning of 2023 and is being torn down, along with a bank on the same plot of land to make luxury condos/apartments.

Update: The Patterson WILL stay a partial bowling alley. The new owners are converting it to mixed use, keeping 4-6 lanes for duckpin bowling.

Reminds me of There Will Be Blood. I drink your milkshake!

[jacksonwilliams]

Is this where they filmed the end of “There Will Be Blood”?

[NobodyWhatsoever]

I don't even like bowling, but that's absolutely amazing! It would be totally worth the experience!

[mattrdoc]

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen...such a nostalgic atmosphere

[BirdShotIV]

in Soviet Russia, bowling ball pins you

[danfelix]

I used to live near Shohola, a short drive from this pub. One time there was a group of old ladies that wanted to bowl but didn't want to set up the pins, so me and a friend got paid like $15 each to set up the pins for them all night. Pretty cool place

[MisterSkinnyJeans]

Did anyone else click because they thought they saw a giant bowling ball lol

Here in the UK this was my job before COVID, I worked in a pub sticking up pins in a game that we call Skittles its basically bowling but 9 pins instead of 10. So i can now officially say i identify as a bowling machine
