Neon Bowling Pin.

Giant Neon Bowling Pin

On State Street near the highway 80 overpass is a huge neon sign shaped like a bowling pin advertising "classic bowling." We weren't sure what made bowling classic or not, but there are 54 lanes for you to research next time you visit. There is also a coffee shop.
