Bowling at StrikeCity in Charlotte

Posted on 21 July, 2010 under Roaming & Ramblings with Post a Comment

My visit for four weeks to Charlotte, North Carolina has been a really fun experience, I participated in a game that I have seen in movies for years but have never tried. We went bowling at Strike City Bowling Alley in Charlotte. The place is a really cool hang-out spot, you can order a few beers while bowling at those pins, by the way I think that’s a really bad idea. I really wouldn’t want to be intoxicated while holding a ball that weighs a mere 16 pounds, if that heavy ball should fall it could break a toe or smash a nail even.

Other than being my careful self, I did rather well at a game I never played before. I got three (3) strikes (meaning I hit all 10 pins with one ball, for who never played before) and came in second, playing with three other contestants who have bowled more than once in their life. If I should take up this sport I think I would easily become Pro.

I know it has been heard in movies I have seen, but totally forgot about the bowling shoes. When we arrived at Strike City they fitted us with the right pair, I am an 11 and mine fitted really comfortable, however I think they looked like shoes worn in the early 80′s, see for yourself above.

The game is really great, that’s if you don’t mind rolling a heavy ball for a mere 50-65 feet without it going off the alley into the gutter. You probably been bowling before, so what are your thoughts on Bowling?
