Secor Lanes

Small lanes that are in bad shape… have to keep your own score so it makes it hard to enjoy yourself. Drafts taste bad and stuff floating in it.

Ordered food at the beginning of our game (4 cheese burger meals) didn’t get them until AFTER we finished a whole game. No free refills. You have to keep score with a sheet of paper and a pencil– no automated… So if you don’t pay attention and count your pins, you will miss your score. Really hard to enjoy yourself when you have to count pins the whole time. Good food… Full bar… Definitely a great spot for after work drink… Not for bowling.

But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a lazy man — and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there’s a man, sometimes, there’s a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But… aw, hell. I’ve done introduced him enough.
The point is The Dude lived in California. If he lived on the Northern Coast, he would hands down bowl at Secor Lanes. Tell me, whens the last time you had to ask someone to «mark it eight.» My guess is about 15 years ago before all the bowling turned towards these fanged computers. But don’t worry, not here, not one computer in the house. They don’t even know what frame your on. That – friends – is what makes Secor Lanes the best. Its so vintage, its like stepping into the world as it was.
