Rent, equipment and wages aren't getting cheaper.
I was a manager for two music stores, and we always used to talk about how, when the economy's in a pinch, entertainment is the first thing to go. bowling was big in the '50s and '60s, because the economy was rolling along, everything was cheap and wages were doing better than prices. Not so anymore. I'm just thankful that I can bowl a game for less than $3.
