Carter Bowl
Anaheim, CA

A keen example of the fate of our roadside treasures, the marquee of the Carter Bowl in Anaheim was changed in 1999 from the fabulous googie sign on the left (just look at those colors!) to the booorrrring marquee on the right. Another one bites the dust. 01-99

The Regal Lanes in Orange, CA was a prime bowling spot in the area. Built and opened for business in 1974, the Regal Lanes was home to over 30 years of family fun. 02-99

 

UPDATE 07/13 : Like many other bowling alleys in Orange County, Regal Lanes closed down for good almost a decade ago. The bowling alley property was sold to the neighboring Toyota Dealership for more parking. 07-13

The Holiday Bowl sits in a tenuous spot next the the vacant Majestic Pontiac lot. Soon to see the property managment sign? Let's hope not.

Unfortunately, the Holiday Bowl met its demise in 2003 and is the building has been repurposed to a Starbucks. See Roadside Peek's Spotlight on the Holiday Bowl for more information. 03-99
