Featuring a marquee that's still in great shape, the 66 Bowl is the place to be if you're in Oklahoma City. Plus, it's right off Route 66. This throwback of a ten pin alley features 24 lanes. For more, see Roadside Peek's Lost Treasures feature on the 66 Bowl.

When you think of the Rose Bowl, do you think of College football and New Years Day? If you don't, then you must have seen the Rose Bowl in Tulsa and its fantastic arching sign that somewhat resembles the famed Arch and Arch Motel in St. Louis. Best of all, it's located off of the old Route 66.

The Rose Bowl has been transformed from a bowling alley to an events center. The Rose Bowl Event Center has now hosted many local events. For more on the Rose Bowl, see Roadside Peek's Lost Treasures feature on the Rose Bowl. 10-10

The Bee Line Bowl in Okmulgee features a few great looking marquees with lettering hearkening back to the golden era of bowling alleys.

The photo on the left even shows the happy bowling ball face. Or is it a bee? A bowling bee?
