I can’t imagine it being anywhere else but the old Reno Depot spot. Nice to see it getting used for something.

It looks like it will only be 10 pin, which is unfortunate. 5 pin is especially good for kids, older folks, etc. Personally I like both 5 and 10 pin.

The Glamorgan location (formerly Mountainview Bowl) is having a renovation, and I fear that they’ll remove the 5 pin lanes and make everything 10 as well. I looked online and saw a video clip of someone playing on the 5 pin lanes in Kingston for the last time, as they were getting removed in a renovation as well.

I know that 5 pin bowling is unique to Canada, which may make parts and equipment a little harder to find. But the 5 pin lanes always seem well utilized. So is 5 pin dying, and is Splittsville (and their UK parent company) digging the grave?
