With all the changes to our lives recently, we are all looking for things to do outside of the home. Drive-In Movies have done very well, and that's good to see.  Bowling too, has seen a nice uptick.  Funny, some classic ways to have fun, making a comeback of sorts.

Drive-Ins at one time had 4,000 places to go, Now about 350 remain. There are about 3,500 bowling places in the country, as it is one of the most played sports in America with 67 million people bowling every year.  And Charger Lanes in Norton is one of them.  Jim and his crew there made us feel so welcome there as we had, and they hosted, the first WQMX Bowling outing in February as we raised money for NEOPAT.  It was a great time for hundreds of reasons, and one of them is, it's the last big thing we did before all this C-19 stuff.

That was a great day. And now, as you can see from their new sign above, you can bowl again at Charger Lanes and have a fantastic time.  I admit, it's fun to see simple fun making a big comeback.  We are rediscovering some fun and cool things to do as families, that are bringing great joy to us, when we need them. My hope would be that when things go back to "normal" that we bring these fun activities with us, and reincorporate them into our "normal" lives. 

Every time I go to Charger lanes, I love the energy there. The sounds, the music, the cheers, the knowing that there are people of all ages there having fun together.  Makes for a terrific day!  Bowling makes us happy, and in many cases takes us back to a different and easier time. You can feel this by heading to Charger Lanes and lacing up the shoes!

Bowling to me is a real fun time and being honest, it's something I should do more often.  Growing up here, I always equated bowling with winter as it was something to do when it's cold. But no more.  Now, it's just a great thing to do, because...... it's a great thing to do.  I can't wait to get back there and shake Jim's hand and get back to having fun no matter what the weather is. I always like the food too, some onion rings, pizza, and some long necks make it a fun time too.  You kinda have to do that!

So load up and get out to Charger Lanes in the great city or Norton!  And tell Jim that I sent you there.  Great, family fun and maybe a whole new hobby for you.
