Fancy Lanes Bowling Alley

The bowling alley, one of the popular hangouts in Povey, aside from the diner and community house. Unlike those two however, it’s actually towards the edge of town, rather than closer to the middle. I've drawn the interior of this building a number of times - recently even - so it's nice to put an image to a frequent location. The building itself is pretty uninteresting, being part of a newly-built strip mall, but the Googie style sign was fun to draw. Originally I was going to include two signs, one for the bowling alley and one for the strip itself (Third Creek Plaza), but I didn't have enough space with the angle I chose. I like the juxtaposition of big, glittering, fabulous signs advertising a squat, windowless, grayish-brown box of a building.
