Welcome to Aubrey Griffin and Jordan Horston!

those bowling balls were only like the size of softballs.........you could really do some damage if somebody got in the way after a few pops............
 
I believe that in candle pin the dead wood is left on the alley. Never tries it but it was quite popular up in Mass.

In Norwich, my home town, there was a combo theater/bowling alley. The Yale theater had triple feature monster/sci fi movies on Sat afternoon for 20 cents and the Yale duck pin lanes had pin boys. 10 cents a string.
 
Now bowling ??? Maroons !!!!
I do not know about maroons. But the Boneyarders search for knowledge is unquenchable. We follow the peripatetic style of Aristotle here! Besides, there is no basketball to worry about now anyway! :p
 
What is a Maroon?

Coming from Louisiana I had never heard of Duckpins or Candlepins. I worked at the Corps of Engineers in Waltham for about six months and got involved in a candlepin league.... that was different! I believe there is a Duckpin house on 32 up towards the DriveIn near the 31 turnoff (and Coyote flacco) between Willimantic and Coventry

Still quite a few duckpin alleys in CT. There's one a few miles south of me on route 10 in Cheshire. Duckpin aficionados look down their noses at the "big ball" game.

SARGE: get OUT!!!! BRUNOS???!!!!!! Ate pizza there every Sunday night for a few years while doing some grad work out there. Tales to tall and to hear, I'm sure.
What year was that, were they still in the original building, "the Swiss Chalet", or the newer one on the levee.

I assume it's a New England thing...........

Master Sarge: will try to send you a private message now - sounds like we'd have several things to discuss - and prob not of interest to Yard in general.
