The Secret White House Bowling Alley

[technophant]

The White House bowling alley uses a string pinsetter system, where pins are attached to strings for easy resetting. This simpler, cost-effective setup is ideal for private lanes, offering reliability and safety, though it slightly alters the game dynamics compared to traditional alleys.

If that's the "secret" bowling alley, then I guess the one that's actually in the White House under the north portico is the "secret secret" bowling alley.

The string pinsetters are new. Has obviously received upgrades. Scoring was manual in 1947.

I used to be a bowling alley mechanic I would love to visit someday
