Farewell to Java Lanes (Long Beach)

Pages: 1 2 replies

I was notified of this farewell to the bowling alley by the Modern Committee (a sub-committee of the LA Conservancy). It looks like they are starting a bowling club (anyone can join) for mid-century modern bowling alleys and this will be their first meeting.

They’re about 30 years too late, wouldn’t you say?

It just won't be the same driving up PCH...

However, on a happier note, it seems that the sign was saved and is planned to be put up near the Pike in downtown LB.
