Covina Bowl (I)
30 Dec, 2001
12/30/2001 - Covina Bowl
1060 West San Bernardino Road • Covina, California
Although Covina Bowl's decor is not tiki-themed, a pseudo-polynesian influence is definitely evident in the high, peaked roof over the entrance to the alley.
Friendly Hills Bowl (I)
30 Dec, 2001
12/30/2001 - Friendly Hills Bowl
15545 East Whittier Boulevard • Whittier, California
The marquis has seen better days, but the "B O W L" sign is still a commanding presence along Whittier Boulevard.

The contrast of the futuristic boomerang roof against the stone material of the wall is a perfect example of the Googie style.

Canoga Park Bowl
24 Dec, 2001
Canoga Park Bowl - 20122 Vanowen St (at Winnetka), Canoga Park, California
Although the rest of the bowling alley, its associated coffee shop, and the nearby hotel look like they’ve been victimized by rampant remodeling over the years, the Canoga Park Bowl sign is still in good shape. I took the liberty of digitally removing the barbed wire and security camera which is attached to the left-hand pole above the "L" in "BOWL".
The time of day and cloudy skies were working against me, but a backlit photo is better than none at all.
