Inside one of the longest-standing and last manual bowling alleys in the country, there's a faded statement on the blackboard. It reads "They might have air conditioning and pin machines, but we had more fun."
Rohman's Inn, a building that's more than 150 years, has a historic bar on the bottom floor (with $1.25 beers), a seasonal dining room upstairs like something out of Colonial Williamsburg, and a bowling alley. In 1941, four lanes were installed and little has changed since then. The room is hot, there are seats not only for the bowlers but also for the spectators, and the jukebox spins records, not CDs.
Roll one down and, unless you call ahead of time and arrange for a pinsetter to be on duty, it's a long trip down the gutter to behind the lane. There a metal foot pedal raises spikes in the lane to place the pins on. Roll the ball down the ramp between lanes 1 and 2, and you're ready to go again. Ten frames of this during the summer months will result in drastic weight loss and an abundance of laughs.
