Why do you bowl?
Asked at Royal Crest Bowling Lanes on July 17, 2006
“I bowl because I enjoy it. Trying to shoot for that ultimate score. It's a game where you don't have to play against anybody.”
— Dan L'Ecuyer, order filler, Lawrence
“It's fun, and it relieves stress. It's nice and cool inside the bowling alley, and it helps me spend more time with my family.”
— Monique Banks, homemaker, Lawrence
“It's a social activity. I like being social, and it gives me something to do to get out of the house. I don't think about work, stress or money. I just think about bowling and hanging out.”
— Alana Beer, human resources, Lawrence
“Enjoyment. The fundamentals of bowling can be used anyplace. It's on the level, it's upright and it's a real square game. You can have a 90-year-old competing against a teenager, and they might bowl the same score.”
— Steven F. Moore, retired, Lawrence
