2010 | Best Bowling Lanes

From the moment you step into Tropicana Lanes, you feel transported to another time. Actually, the time warp begins even before you step inside -- with the huge vintage sign at the parking lot entrance, itself a relic from the golden age of cheerful, shimmering, brightly colored vulgarity. The building is enormous, housing 52 lanes, with air redolent of oil and polish and shoe sanitizer and fried everything. The ghosts of bowling-league seasons past are everywhere, in the plaques and... More »

Sure, there's a lounge. There's also a game room, a small snack shop -- hell, there's even a banquet room. But make no mistake about it: Step into Tropicana Lanes, and you'd better be ready to bowl.

Many of these icons of American postwar leisure have disappeared along with drive-in movie theaters. This makes Tropicana Lanes (7960 Clayton Rd., 314-781-0282) that much more special. The bowling alley is divided into two halves, with 26 lanes on each side. When it opened in 1959, it was billed as the largest bowling center in... More »
