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.


Mission Hills Bowl

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


Corbin Bowl

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


Pioneer Bowl

Check out the Pioneer Bowl for fun, pool, and games. The Pioneer Bowl is located in Pioneertown. Pioneertown was built in 1946 as a set for Western themed movies. Many famous actors and scenes were filmed here. More info can be found at the Pioneertown website.

The bowling alley itself is a throwback in a location that's a throwback all its own. The interior features an unique mural that hearkens back to the old west days.

Update 07/06 : Pioneertown was threatened by a massive wildfire in July 2006. Fortunately, the movie set itself was saved. 07-06

The Westminster Lanes is still open for business. Though its marquee is not of the space age variety, it's still a classic sign for a classy alley.

Here's one of the marquees to the Canoga Park Bowl in Canoga Park, CA. Not sure if this bowling alley is still around. The huge sign could be seen for blocks. Check out the starbursts that decorate the sides of this marquee.

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.
