Just like movie theaters, Chicago had at one time many small bowling alleys, most of which are now gone.
I remember going in the 60s to:
Humboldt Bowl
Congress Bowl Milwaukee Ave
Fireside Bowl Fullerton Ave
Diversey River Bowl Diversey Ave
Believe it or not, I found some newspaper articles of bicycle races at Humboldt bowl in the 1930s. How this worked, I don't know.
