Whip City Bowladrome (1)
Westfield, MA

This is a 30 foot lane in the basement of a home in
Westfield, MA. The owner built this private
bowling center on his own, utilizing donations
from some center owners in the area. It's a fun
little project that he can change from candlepin to
duckpin in a flash (although we here at CG would
frown upon that). He's even got a website up and
running here. Check it out!
