Candlepin Bowling Returns To Boston Over the Air TV March 4th

[John J. Francini]

A good and rather thorough article, though I believe they have a 
small factual error about the Channel 5 show.  I remember vividly 
that for many years it was taped not at Sammy White's, but at the 
Wollaston Boulevard Bowladrome in Quincy. I grew up down on the South 
Shore, and tried to get to the WBB as often as I could while growing 
up.  After all, that was where the pros bowled!!!

Unfortunately, the WBB is gone, as is Sammy White's, as well as the 
Wal-Lex (both the bowling center and the roller-skating rink).
