    There is (or) maybe was I'm not sure if it is still there or not
    I haven't been up there in over 12 years a bowling alley that
    still had the above ground ball returns about 50 miles from
    here. I used to go up there every so often maybe a couple of
    times each month and bowl a sweeper or two or maybe some
    kind of local tournament that they used to have.

    I kind of hated the above ground ball returns as it made me
    loose focus on what I was doing sometimes when the ball
    came rolling back along side the lane. Yes those long ball
    returns do get in the way if you really have to move left on
    the approach and play deep on the right lane.

    These videos are all on my YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/BowlingOldies . Glad you've enjoyed them. There are gobs more there (about 200 videos total), including more old-timey film shorts, industrial films about pinsetters and bowling lane equipment, newsreel features about such things as the very first automatic pinsetter, and a ton of old pro bowlers matches, including some vintage ones that were telecast in black and white.
