Bowling is fun anytime, but especially in inclement weather. Greensboro has three lanes: AMF All Star Lanes (photographed above), Triad Lanes, and Spare Time Lanes. The heyday of bowling was the mid-1960's when there were approximately 12,000 bowling centers in the USA. By 2007, there were only 5,498 centers-- a decline of over 50%*. Formerly, bowling was predominantly, league-based, blue collar activity. Today, the trend is for bowling to be more popular with the white-collar community, with children, and for people who play, not affiliated with a league. Current trends indicate that bowling is gaining in popularity, partly given to the upgraded condition of the remaining bowling alleys.
In great condition is the AMF All Star Lanes at 910 South Holden Road. The photo above shows the cleanliness of the interior. AMF features 40 lanes and other amenities like a room for birthday parties. If you don't remember seeing AMF Lanes, surely, you remember this round, flower-pot-looking building across the street from it (see here). Why don't we all go bowling this weekend? It is great exercise. Calculate how many calories you can burn bowling, here!
