No one wants to drive all the way to Laurium to bowl. Hubbell's a little closer. As I dial the number for Al's Supper Club Trophy Lanes, I wonder whether or not we'll have to bowl amongst quiet couples eating their steak dinners. Al's has open bowling and live music, says the woman on the phone, so off our caravan of cars careens. We arrive at an expanded storefront building, which has obviously been added on to over the years, right off main street in Hubbell.
Light fuses out from the foggy windows.
As we enter, I feel as if we've stepped back in time. We approach the bartender to inquire about bowling. We've got live music, though, so stick around. We look at each other, wondering if we've really driven this far with no hopes of bowling. So we bowl two games to a local band playing borrowed tunes from REO Speedwagon, Rolling Stones, and Guns N' Roses.
