Another Indication That It's Time To Get a Life

This is sad. I hate seeing places like this closed up and left to decay. Assuming it's for sale, you know no one is ever going to buy a place like this, at least not to open it up as a bowling alley again. I'm pretty sure the demand for bowling is still in a downward trend. Heck, I don't even see bowling on TV anymore. I've been wrong before though.

People once came here for no other reason than to have a good time. Maybe it meant bowling, maybe it meant getting away from it all. Maybe it meant spending time with someone who was special. People must have gone on dates here. I wonder what they think when they drive by now.

I wonder what it's like inside. I picture it a little like "The Shining"- phantom sounds of balls hitting the pins and echoes of people cheering and high fiving each other. Are there traces of little kids birthday parties still going on?

I even wonder about the pins. I can almost see a demand for bowling balls, relatively speaking that is. But as hard as it would be to unload bowling balls, it must be impossible to sell used bowling pins. Who would buy bowling pins? I wonder if they're all in there, standing in place, in the dark... waiting...

I wonder what the hell is the matter with me for even thinking about these things.
