I wonder if you know of any place where we might find more information about the place from the Bowling angle? I've contacted the "descendant' of the ABC Sanctioning body, (United States Bowling Congress) and they replied that have nave no records earlier than the 80's. Anybody know of a "defunctbowling.com" site somewhere?

...Perhaps they have pictures or records. They MAY have something....but it's so long ago.

Also, the architectural firm who designed and built it...and then there is the Public Library of Cucamonga....They probably have some newspaper articles about the flood on Microfilm, as well as newspaper ads and articles on the place.

Other than that, I don't know. Perhaps your mom has more info ?

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately my mom is tapped out. She went through her old boxes but didn't find anything new. I will be writing to the architects, and have found some newspapers online (pay only) that I will source soon. Other than the somewhat nebulous Route 66 connection, that's mostly all I can think of. Thanks for the thoughts, you guys are great!
