High 5: Bowling alleys

Hillendale

Hillendale alley is probably the cheapest place in town for duckpin bowling. This neighborhood spot has retained much of its original charm. Unlike other lanes, Hillendale has resisted the trend toward automatic scoring. Instead, it's up to you to use your brain and a piece of paper and one of those little pencils. This can be problematic, especially for bad bowlers who rarely get a strike or a spare and then don't know what to do when such a miracle does happen. However, they're not too old-fashioned at Hillendale. Friday and Saturday nights from 10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. there's Rock 'n' Bowl with a live DJ. Cost is $10, and includes shoe rental. The alley also has a snack bar and allows bowlers to bring their own beer to the lanes.
