Leda Lanes in Nashua NH



































Well once Mike told me that he wanted to go to NH to visit the liquor store I figured that we could visit Leda Lanes. Nashua isn't very far from Boston, it's pretty much on the MA/NH line above Lowell.
This place is really big, two sides of lanes and a big pool table section in the middle. We only bowled two strings because we were tired and it wasn't really cheap. I bowled a 101 and I was happy with that.

If you like cosmic bowling/glow ball, Leda actually has a separate bowling alley across the parking lot. I really like that, mainly because it pretty much separates kids from adults. Unsure of pricing/ how it looks inside there.


Pros:
Big parking lot
Decent action on the pins
Tons of lanes
Games/pool tables
Free ball buffing machine
Separate cosmic area

Cons:
Cash only
Not very cheap, $4 a string per person on the weekends
Water bubler didn't work


I give it 3.7 stars

Country Club Lanes in Hingham







Now I'm really torn about this alley. It's one of the cutest/cleanest alleys I've ever been to. I'm completely in love with how it looked. Now when we started to play there the pins had pretty much no action whatsoever.
I would probably come here again if I was in the area though.
This place is inside of the south shore country club and you have to walk through it to get to the alley. The signs are good though and it's easy to find.


Pros:
Easy parking
Cute/clean
Takes credit cards

Cons:
Gets pricey after a certain time
Pins don't have any action

Overall I give them 3.5 stars

Central Park Lanes in East Boston

Well Garvey and I have been talking about checking this place out forever. After an acquired living social deal for blackstrap BBQ in Winthrop we decided it was time to finally go.
We called and there was a busy signal so we decided to drive by on the way back. The place was dark and the locals were hanging inside, we were the only ones bowling for a while, but it was a super cool place.

















Well all of a sudden music was blaring on the touch tunes and I honestly felt like I was in an 80s movie (aka my dream).

The pins had pretty good action and they were reasonably priced. Soon a couple came in and the sounds of pins flying were pretty loud. After 3 strings we decided to head out. I bowled my best game in a while with a 106.






I'm very up and down when I bowl. Dumb pain and being tired.


Hopefully we will be back in the future!
