Just up the river from Winona is a 2 lane house in Fountain City, Wisconsin.  It is located in the basement of a rec center.  I don't think they have an oiler but I do know they still have pin boys.  Not often you see pin boys any more.

I currently bowl in a 12 lane center, but I have bowled in a center that had 8 ten pin lanes and 16 candlepin lanes. My father in law told me that there are a couple of houses in Ohio that are 6 lane and 8 lane centers that I may try my hand at when I go to visit there during the summer.

I bowled in an 8 lane house in Denver and later in the week bowled at this monster house owned by Walt Disney.  The big house had an olympic swimming pool and diving boards sort of in the middle.  Here in Dallas Bronco Bowl was the largest around including arena, archery range, driving range, billiards and game room, 72 lanes.  They are going to put a Lowes or Home Depot in it's place.  It's a shame a lot of history there.  Braniff Airlines had a 6 or 8 lane center in their headquarters at one time.

Wow, where do you live drillbit?  12 lanes is the big house.  

I bowled in an 8 lane house a long time ago.  4 upstairs and 4 downstairs.  Concrete walls and low celings.  Talk anout loud!  Also, very dry and very little room left of lanes 1 and 5.  Left hand and right foot would smack the wall on every shot.

I bowl/work in a six lane house.  It is on my school's campus though.  Its really fun putting out the toughest shots you can think of then bowling on them.  47 ft of oil, 70 units anyone?

Strider, I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, on the Keewenaw Peninsula(the bit that sticks up into Lake Superior). There are bigger houses in the U.P., but none very near to us. I think the biggest house up here is 24 lanes, and there's only 1 or 2 of those. There are a few 16-lane centers, too. The house I mainly bowl at is an older 8-laner, but it's the only house in our local association(a 6, an 8, & a 12 lane house) with automatic scoring; the other two still use plastic sheets and pencils to keep score. That's right, you have to keep score by hand, and the overhead projectors let everyone see how good you are(or aren't) at keeping score.
