The facilities include 40 lanes with automatic scoring, a certified pro shop, lounge area with darts and pool tables and arcade games in several locations. Bumper bowling leagues are scheduled for Tuesdays in the fall, and individual bumper lanes are available Thursdays. Weekend nights feature Rock and Bowl, with a live DJ and lighting quite different from the normal bowling environment. In addition to flourescent overhead lights, black lights are utilized for ambience. Joanis said the Rock and Bowl promotions on Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest non-league times.
Leagues take place throughout the year every day of the week.
Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. feature College Day at the lanes, where students with college IDs can play at discounted rates. Open bowling times, where no special function is operating and patrons do not need reservations, are also popular times for the more causal bowler. Steven Chase, an Ypsilanti resident, said he brought his family along with him because bowling is a good way to spend an afternoon without spending too much money and not much hassle. It s a pretty cheap way to entertain the bunch. Chase said he has been a bowler for more than 15 years and thinks it s a pretty fun hobby to pass along to his children.
