Anyone else sober... All the time?

[Pneumagger]

I think I have I pics of Behemoth, Senheng, Neppo, and I drinking Jagermeister & Redbull at a paintball field out of stock-class 10 round tubes. Other than that, we were sober that day while playing paintball - lol.

If PGP owns the alley that I think he does, it's definitely a place for kids and families. Cosmic bowling (blacklights etc) and a decently large arcade, pizza kitchen and party room, prize center for ticket redemption, etc.

There were two other alleys in the area, and I know the owner of the one that went out of business (Fast Lanes in Hudson) which didn't have food or a full arcade, just bottled drinks, an oxygen bar, and a vending machine. I was a regular because it was low key and the guy who ran it was awesome, but it couldn't compete with (what I assume is...) PGPs alley for kids, and the one in the neighboring town designed for adults with pool and a bar.

By the way, in MA and much of New England, candlepin is the standard. Even the big facilities in the city (Lanes 'N Games, Saccos, etc) offer both 10pin and candlepin, with a focus on the latter.

LOL that's about as good a guess as you could have made. My family has run that particular center since the 40's. My brother is the current owner. My wife and I own a much smaller center closer to Boston.

candlepin bowling = mindblown

I grew up on the MA/NH border and did not realize until I was an adult, that other people did not have candlepin bowling in their areas. It made me very sad for them when I did realize it. There is also "duckpin" bowling in the mid-atlantic states I believe, it is the most bizarre if you ask me.

I'm a light/social drinker.

I'll have a beer once in a blue moon, same for wine or spirits. Can't say I remember when I last got drunk, must've been at least 15 years ago. I just don't see the enjoyment in it. Love the taste, not the hangover.

I'm sober all the time too.. Not a drop though. I had my fun as a teenager.. maybe too much fun. Either way, I'm over it!

I've been bowling there since... well it feels like the 1940s LOL

Great place - I took a bit of a hiatus when my guy Ross was running Fast Lanes in Hudson, but these days the Bowladrome is my place (unless I'm in Cambridge, then I do Lanes 'N Games). Actons a dry town too as I recall, so I figured that was your place - I just didn't account for a family full of bowling alley proprietors!
