Old bowling alley

Back to blogging after a two-day break to take care of chores at home, celebrate Valentine's Day, catch up on other hobbies, and get in a couple games of rather mediocre bowling.  Re the latter, I'll post this photo from 1905 - "Bowling alley. Paul Smith's casino, Adirondack Mountains" - which you can view at wallpaper magnification at Shorpy.

This also give me an excuse to post an old link to eight historic bowling alleys in Wisconsin (for future reference).

    Is it true that people used to slip dollar bills into the holes to tip the pinsetters hoping that they might "accidentally" knock over a pin in the player's favor.
