My mom used to work at a few centers in the late 60's and early 70's. My father and brother bowled in tourneys all over the place, and I was thinking of some of the centers from glory days past that have closed. Here is a list of some of the ones I remember:

Hart Bowl
Circle Bowl
Jack and Jill Lanes
Expressway Lanes
Zangs
Bronco Bowl
Don Carters East
Buckner Bowl or Grove Country (I think this one is closed)
Meadowbrook Lanes (I think this one is closed too)
Cotton Bowling Palace

See if anyone can think of some more.

I hate Cowtown Not only is it in a dump area, it is one of the most distusting places I've ever bowled at. Hurst is dumpy too but it just needs a renovation. Spare Time sucks too.

Add Wedgewood to the list.  I remember my Dad talking a lot about Richland and Forest Park.

There were a couple more in Mineral Wells that shut down back in the day.  There was a 12 lane alley at Fort Wolters military base that shut down when the base did, and there were at least 2 lanes in the basement of the Baker Hotel which has been shut down for a long while.

I'm not even supposed to be here today...
When your arrows come up, good luck and good bowling.
