Heading there first weekend in May. Several years ago, I bowled league at Eastway lanes. At that time (and I'm assuming still today), the place was absolutely top notch. Everything was cleaned and wiped down every evening prior to closing up, lanes were very well maintained. Truly a great place. From my memory, the house shot there always shaded towards the heavier oil. AMF synthetics. Larger house (thinking 46 lanes) sufficient room behind the lanes for equipment and a few people. There's a bar inside the house.. and a top-notch proshop. Chuck was/is one of the best at fitting, laying out, and drilling. The other house (Rolling Meadows), I have only bowled in once and that was many years ago during a jr bowling tournament. Smaller than Eastway... at the time I believe it had wood lanes (again many years ago).. but seemed to be a nice house as well.
There is a new slots casino right off from I-90 (closer to Eastway lanes).. lots of good bars downtown.. Calamari's, Docksiders, Rum Runners...
For the golfers, about 15-20 mi. away is the Peek-n-Peak Resort.. Nationwide tour has a stop there.. can play the upper course for $79 w/ cart through the end of May!
Should be a fun weekend
