Starlite is located on S. Beacon Blvd. in Grand Haven, Michigan. In between
games, take a peek at the starfish on the outside wall.

The marquee for the Palace Bowl is relatively nondescript
when compared to the Town Hall above.
UPDATE 09/05 :
The front of this bowling alley was used in the movie Uncle Buck with
John Candy. The movie showed the front of the place when Candy was headed
to bowl....although the inside as I recall wasn't actually used. Many

Here's an interesting sign for a bowling alley found
in Oak Harbor, OH. This marquee looks like it belongs on an old auto dealership. Not sure if this dates back to the era of the old dealerships which would be the 1920's and 1930's.

Falls, Ohio is a great place to stop for some ten pin action. If you're
arm is sore, shoot a few games of pool.
