"In 1939 my father put these first eight lanes in. I worked for him for a year and he sold me the business. I bought the bar in '55, it was a next door neighbor's bar, and added four more lanes in 1958. It was a joy, but a lot of hard work, a lot of hours. But I enjoyed it, I enjoyed meeting people," said Lew Slocum, owner of Slocum's Bowling Bar and Grille.
