Historic preservationist and Los Angeles Magazine senior editor Nichols delves into the midcentury heyday of bowling, including the 1951 advent of the first fully automated pin-setting machine, at the Bowl-O-Drome in Mount Clemens, Mich.; the widespread embrace of Jetsons-esque Googie architecture; and the glam lounges with cocktail waitresses, steak dinners, and live music. As well, he tracks the factors that led to the pastime's decline, lending additional heft to the meticulously sourced, evocative vintage photography.
