I also remember the day Gage Park Bowl burned. Lots of stuff tended to burn down in the old hood! I remember when he had to climb to the charred second floor to get his ball out of the locker. When I was younger, my dad also bowled at Jay Bee on 51st and Damen and then it burned down. Oh, how I miss keeping score with pencil and paper! I bowled with my daddy at Miami and then again there with my sister where I was league secretary. I'm 51 and I grew up in Back of the Yards.

especially for bands to play there and to see all your friends, i love it how they have free water too and those little arcade games. I think the fireside is an awesome place. Keeps the kids off the streets and where its all at.
