Some questions occurred as to how bowling alleys are constructed,
given their specific kinds of uses and abuses they're subject to, such
as especially directly at and under the floor in the areas where the
ball falls and rolls. Might anyone like to shed some light in this
regard? (Anyone like to bowl, BTW? I used to, but haven't in quite
awhile. I hear they were a bit of a hangout in the past.)
Here's a nice pic of an older one:

I always wondered what keeps those heavy balls from cracking the surface of
the lanes. Especially when you see some beginners throwing their balls high
up in the air where they come crashing down hard.

That's made me wince on occasion.

It's an oldie; 1914. Imagine a lazy summer day in the 1920's in there
with good friends, drinks and the sun streaming in. The surrounding area
looks nice too.

That seems quite substantial as I'd imagined... Perhaps if one had a
bowling alley in their house in Florida, they might be better able to
weather a hurricane. ;)

Your post also offers an example of a collateral result of plonking as a
bit of a reverse mental dragnet. I edited out part of your paragraph to
further enhance my point.

2 strikes for the price on one.

Certainly one of the harder ones.
