2 alleys in my city, both about 15 minutes away. It is nice having them close.
About 15 minutes from my main house (Mon & Wed), about 30 minutes on a house I sub in on Thursdays, and 40 minutes on one I sub in on Sundays.

I live apprx 1.5 miles from Plaza Lanes, 5 miles from Hanover Lanes. But.....
I travel 30 miles to Brunswick Zone Hazlet lanes. It's worth it for lane oil and approach quality and pro shop. (My local lanes meet overhead through kiddie parties. I don't mind the parties, but sticky approaches and unoiled lanes are sometimes a hassle)
I also travel 1 hour South to Brunswick Zone Carrolier Lanes. Well worth the trip. There are about 60 lanes, Great pro shop. Excellent oil all the time. Carrolier makes it overhead through leagues and touraments as well as parties. The far righ lanes are where parties are happen. Other lanes for practice, leagues, lessons and tournaments. A truly great place. I wish I lived closer.
I live by three simples rules:
1. Don't ever ask about my business
2. Never discuss business at the table
3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family
I live within 3 miles of an alley, within 20 miles of about 6 more, and I work on weekends at one 2 hours away... What can I say, I started working there before I moved and I love working there!

Spec Sheet
I go to Hazlet to get my balls drilled and tinkered with. Google says it's a little over 8 miles and takes about 25-30 minutes. I like bowling there, but for some reason, the lanes tend to be a little too forgiving and don't challenge me much.
My coach and I are going to go to Carrolier to watch pros bowl in a couple weeks. I can't wait.
The lanes I practice by myself are 5 miles/10 minutes away. Another set I sometimes go to is 6 miles/15 minutes away.
The lanes I bowl league in is about 25 miles/30+ minutes away (I go there during rush hour).
And finally, the lanes I get lessons at is 24 miles/35 minutes away.
