Java Lanes (Demolished)

Java Lanes in Long Beach is another good ten pin alley spot that
still displays its Polynesian roots. From the unique sign out front to
the building itself, Java Lanes is a pretty cool place.
UPDATE : Java Lanes in Long Beach, CA closed
its doors on May 31, 2004. It has been replaced by a town home community.
So no where will they go to bowl? It was the last of Long Beach's bowling
centers. Many thanks to Rick Medina, former youth director
at Java Lanes for update.

games. 04-05

The marquee fort he Del Rio Lanes looks simple yet functionally
fits the mold of the other bowling alley marquees. It's captures attention
from the road.

A rather googie looking bowling alley, the Mission Hills Bowl features multiple boomerangs with space age lunar holes.

Here's a bowling alley that still appeared to do brisk business, even
in the rain. The Bayshore Bowl is one of the last survivors
of the ten pin alley heyday in Southern California and hopefully will
remain.

The marquee for the Corbin Bowl still sits high above Ventura
Boulevard. Best of all, this marquee still lights up the night. Corbin Bowl is located in Tarzana. Check
out the neon version here.

Stop by La Puente Lanes for a few games of bowling. Shoot some pool or play a few video games while your there.
Unfortunately, La Puente Lanes is no longer a destination for ten pin alley thrill seekers as it was razed over in 2006. 12-06
