Eastern Shore Lanes is owned and operated by the family who owned and operated Gulf Bowl in Foley. Dusty (the bar is named after him) is a super cool guy, a naturally epic lefty bowler and dabbles in other industries in our area as well.
They run (own) and maintain their own redemption arcade and laser tag at each location. However you feel about newer redemption arcades, you have to give it up for their investment in bringing these highly expensive modern games to our area.
I'm constantly working on Dusty about how Pinball and Classic Arcades have a following in our area, so I'd like to try to bring a group of folks to pay it forward in patronage to a great local bowling alley. Bowling alleys are where many of us played our first Pac-Man, Galaga or Pinball and bowling is as entrenched a part of Americana as our classic arcades and pinballs. Maybe you guys can help me convince him to bring pins back to his locations? :)
Personally, I'd love to form a league but I don't know that we have the interest in terms of availability for that quite yet. Small steps first, right?
Let's go bowling.
Families Welcome..
You are responsible for your party's bowling fees, food, laser tag and arcade cards. Please RSVP so I know how many lanes to book. Right now, I have two lanes booked.
For bowling, the price per person comes out to be about $4 per person per bowling hour. (You will pay that to me.)
In addition there is a $4 shoe rental fee if you need to rent shoes. (You will pay that to Eastern Shore Lanes)
We may grab dinner somewhere local afterwards (or at Eastern Shore Lanes restaurant) - details on that TBD.
I know this location maybe isn't best for the Pensacola and Mississippi members, that's the challenge for having us spread out. I encourage any of our friends in Pensacola, MS, etc to freely use this group to coalesce your local enthusiast friends. Ping me if I can assist you in that in any way.
