New Castle News takes a trip down the memory lanes in a recent article titled “Bowling Memories II: Hall-of-Fame inductees had time of their lives on the alleys.”

Lugene Pezzuto of New Castle News writes, “Early mornings, for years, Dave May was making the doughnuts. But for many years, too — seven days a week — May was also in a bowling alley. When the best names in bowling in the area enter a conversation, his name is a natural fit. As a matter of fact, he was a pro. When you bowl 300 games 13 times and eight, 800 series, that’s enough to earn a spot in the Lawrence County Historical Society Sports Hall of Fame, which he did, in 1993. The first time May bowled was as a teenager. It was at D&D lanes, which later became Harbor Lanes, on Route 422.”

CNN also takes on bowling nostalgia in a recent article titled “America's best old-school bowling alleys.” Jessica Festa of CNN writes, “You won't find fancy equipment and computerized scoreboards beamed above your head at America's best old school bowling alleys, Bud. Though you might find real guys named Bud, who actually know how to keep score with a pad and pencil. Though you might find real guys named Bud, who actually know how to keep score with a pad and pencil.” When it comes to Rohman’s Inn and Pub, she writes, “Inside, the four-lane, manually-operated bowling alley dates to 1941, complete with wooden folding seats for game spectators, a jukebox and original wooden lanes. There are no machines to reset the pins between turns, so bring your own pinsetter or hire one at the alley for $5 per hour. Much of the old hotel building's basement bar dates back to the 1800s. The historic hotel welcomed celebrity guests including Bette Davis, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, as Shohola and its surrounds were once the setting for a number of silent films.”
