    I'm really old school but have adjusted and only use bowling center these days. Also that is all I bowl in these days too.

    Thanks for sharing! I guess “bowling alley” is the more old-fashioned term after all, but I still like to use it personally. I like being old-fashioned. I guess I'm just an old soul, haha.

    I generally use them interchangeably. I think it's marketing hype or maybe a regional variance... Here in SoCal I often hear Bowling Lanes or the name of the house (Valencia Lanes/Harley's Bowl). Some houses have more services (baby sitting) than others, but I don't think that is a factor...
    Recently retired and returning to bowing after a 12 year break
    Slower ball speed with dominate revs, prefer strait at the pocket but deep is fine too
    In my bag... Storm Phase 3, Roto Grip Idol Pearl, Storm IQ Tour Emerald, 900 Global White Hot Badger, Motiv Venom Recoil, and Motiv Supra Enzo

    Thanks for your input. Baby sitting? Really? Huh, I never knew there were bowling “places” that offered that service. Learn something new every day!
