With a name like Paradise Bowl, I bet your memories are right - sounds tiki to me. I found very little info in the newspaper archives or via google. There was a bowling alley called "Imperial Bowl" in El Segundo and Paradise Bowl always seems to be listed as "Near LAX" or "Near the Los Angeles International Airport", so it may not show up with an El Segundo address in vintage sources. There was a fire at the Paradise Bowl on Dec 19 or 20, in 1965 that took 4 hours to put out and did quite a bit of damage.
