Great to see the Lucky Strike lanes still around. I grew up playing duckpins, at the Holiday Lanes in Manchester, CT., but I played in a couple of tournaments at the Lucky Strike. I was a pretty good bowler, but not good enough to come away with any awards.
A couple of questions for the locals: does anyone remember when duckpin bowling was televised on channel 18? And, does anyone remember "rubber duckpins", with the rubber band around the middle of the pins to give them more action?
