    I am just heading off the political discussions that always end in fisticuffs...

    Are you going to have an old style cigarette machine in there? I remember them as a kid

    The lounge will have a cigarette girl. But maybe one in the allies.

    I have taken my rear wall section and divided it in half so I can make the first floor section extend out so I will have more room for my allies. IMG_1855.JPG

    No, we aren’t in the photo.

    As I remember my October/November years in New York, wet, cold, and raw. Thank goodness for a warm dorm room.

    Not too far from me. 4 seasons just like us here in New England. Beautiful Springs and hot summers. This is Trump tower, New York. He has dozens of gorgeous buildings all over the world. My boy friend is a builder and he helps me in my projects with good advise. He wishes he had a part in any of Trump's projects. Can you blame him ?

    When discussing architecture or esthetics of specific buildings, such as these, it is impossible to not mention his name. This has nothing whatsoever to do with politics.

    I prefer by far the Chrysler building. More than just steel and glass, and plenty of class!:cool:

    Shame that it gets nailed in just about every disaster movie... :rolleyes:

    Your bowling alley is going to look great. And it won't get hit by meteors, alien laser beams, earthquakes, or get stomped on by Godzilla.:D

    I'm working on the interior walls. Lower wall deco is the bowling ally walls. Brick wall on the second level.

    Absolutely fantastic. The wall art on the ground floor already sets the atmosphere.

    The drunken alley cat upstairs says everything about what goes on up there.;)

    The detail is amazing. Just plain amazing.

    That’s a fairly modern layout. While the lane dimensions haven’t changed (except for the shift from maple planks to a pressed composite material), older lanes didn’t have the tables, it was usually U’s of chairs. You can even see the touch screens at the end of the tables. Remember when we used to keep score on paper?
