Any Bronx Bowlers out there? I belonged to "The Knights Of Pithius" Bowling League for a few years We used to bowl at the Alleys on 233rd & Provost, by the junkyards. Also Bowled in Leagues at The Gunhill Lanes. Does anyone remember "BAR BOWLING"? It was like an Arcade machine, where the pins used to hang down, and you would slide this HEAVY CHROME PUCK down the little alley which was very slippery from putting this type of "sand" on it. You would have to hit as many levers as possible that stuck up from the alley! I use to play all the time at HARRYS BAR on Westchester & Hoe Ave., While my Dad sat at the Bar downing "BALLENTINES"

HEY GET YOUR COLD BEER, BALLINTINE, BALLINTIE BEER. MAKE THE 3 RING SIGN

Never belonged to a league but I did spend a lot of time at the Fiesta lanes on Westchester avenue.

Fiesta is still alive. I bowl there every Sunday morning, Tuesday night, and when needed, Friday night. I also bowl at Van Nest Lanes.

Good to hear that fiesta is still there. I get into the Bronx frequently but haven't been in that area lately.

Used to bowl in a league at Woodlawn Lanes on E 234 St & BX River Pkwy.
The "Bowling Alley" machine you talked about was very popular at most Knights of Columbus Halls. You shook out very fine sawdust out of a can to make the metal puck slide. Picked up quite a few 7-10 splits with that machine but never made one on the alleys.

Jim, I'll bet you that Bowling Machine, (if still around) would be worth some BIG MONEY!!

Boy, you got that right.

I bowled leagues at Steele's Lanes,
Riverdale Lanes, Inwood Lanes in upper manhatten,
and Fieldston Lanes. Did Most of my bowling at Feildston, had a locker there. Bowled the Tuesday Nite 905 scratch league, and wed nite men's handicap league..,, did my junior bowling at riverdale lanes in a PAL league. Won my first trophy at Strand's Lanes in brookyln. We went there in my dad's stationwagon, with 8 kids in it, and all thier bowling balls in the back

Fiesta Lanes.....I bowled there for two years. My mother and some of my Aunts bowled there for years.

You know, I wish I was. I recently worked with a kid that belongs to a league. I think that I'm going to try to get in next round, lol.

I bowled once at Fiesta Lanes and didn't like it much.

I never belonged although I did bowl alot.
My wife was a member of a Bowling league. She was a so-so bowler. But her best games were when she was pregnant, she even brought home a trophy.

I was so bad..no one ever wanted me on a team.
