From a day that featured multiple locations. Only one of which involved motion detectors being tripped. There was more to this building, but nothing as cool as the basement bowling alley.

Damn, that is cool! I would love to see that bowling equipment restored and back in service.

Stole the metal from the gutters, yet left the lanes... the lanes are the best part. I have a workbench made of bowling lane, and my favorite watering hole has a re-purposed bowling lane as the bar top.

I doubt they were copper, but why steal the gutters?

I don't know what this German house of speak of is. And no, definitely not St. Charles lanes. In the basement of a building.

very cool pics! A bowling alley is something I've not explored before and always wanted to for some reason.

ropingk: If the german house you're referring to is the one I PM'd you, it's been undergoing renovation for some time now.

I think so it was a church when I played music ther it was called Gateway Tempel and the Rev Clarance Morrison was the pastor he has since died and I have moved but it looks like it
it was way cool even has a 2 person elevator and all this from WAY back in the day
