What happened to bowling?

Date: November 6th, 2024 8:40 AM Author: jafar (elected) Is Trump going to bring this back? I feel like it was a pretty relaxing and pro-social activity, even if it was "extremely prole" according to Manhattan Does anyone here bowl? Is it busy at the lanes? Easy to get a group together for it? Do "leagues" still exist or is this something else only found on the time capsule of the Simpsons? |
Date: November 6th, 2024 8:44 AM Author: woah (hitler did nothing wrong) I tried to walk in with some friends and leagues had the place completely blocked off. Seems like most alleys just run 1/3 of their machines and are saving by not maintaining the rest, which doesn't appear to be a sound business model (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5628102&forum_id=2).#48297816) |

Date: November 6th, 2024 9:30 AM Author: jafar (elected) The few I've been to in the last few years all play obnoxious pop/EDM and have irritating lighting set up Seems to go against the spirit of the sport and keeps it from being a chill thing you can crush a few beers and chit chat over |

Date: November 6th, 2024 10:26 AM Author: woah (hitler did nothing wrong) My local is very chill w/ $2 or $3 domestic longnecks but also doesn't maintain their equipment for shit. It seems like if they just changed the carpets, cleaned up the seats, and kept more than a tiny fraction of their lanes open they would make bank.

Date: November 6th, 2024 10:27 AM Author: jafar (elected) I think it has an image problem and post-COVID everyone is just kind of autistic and this goes without comment for some reason I used to enjoy it in my early 20s and had no trouble getting a group together for it before dinner or whatever but now it's impossible |

Date: November 6th, 2024 10:41 AM Author: jafar (elected) Just from the wiki these all seem like credited points and using bowling/the community around it as a lens to understand the wider issues at play is sensible It's the social game of the proletariat in Modernity so it makes sense to use it as a bellwether for the general health of that particular economic strata |

Date: November 6th, 2024 9:30 AM Author: BEAVER costs like $150 for two people. like $400 for a family. i dont know why. I guess you cannot fit that many people into the place and it takes a lot of staff? is insurance expensive for these places?

Date: November 6th, 2024 10:14 AM Author: BEAVER miami, iirc, was like 60 per person per hour. maybe im misremembering but with food and drink I feel like it was well over 150 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5628102&forum_id=2).#48298637) |

Not flame private equity bought it up and "modernized" it. No more paunchcy 60 bald owners working behind the alley counters
The one by my house has this Byzantine pricing scale based on day of the week, time, and number of bowlets. It's a scam |

Date: November 6th, 2024 10:06 AM Author: jafar (elected) I do not understand how there can be so many situations where someone might ask "Why is (Y) so shitty and expensive now?" and time and time again the Scooby Doo monster of the week is unmasked to be Old Man PE (Private Equity/Pirate Excursion/Penal Endeavour/etc) without the public finally getting the hint (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5628102&forum_id=2).#48298559) |
