The Alley

Since its birth in 1949, The Alley, or at least the North Shore ground on which The Alley resides, has come full circle. During its earliest years, it was known as Mary Jane Lanes, a 10-lane bowling center that buzzed with family-friendly competition throughout the 1950s and '60s. That buzzing continued at a much louder decibel level during the 1970s, when Mary Jane Lanes became Minstrel's Alley, a go-to music venue rocked by the riffs of bands such as REO Speedwagon and The Ramones. In the 1980s, after crews restored its lanes and dug out all the burnt electric guitars embedded into its gutters, the building returned to its origins as a family-first bowling center. Today, The Alley has been updated with automatic scoring, projection TVs, and pool tables ready to accommodate guests of all ages. Every Friday and Saturday, though, The Alley detours back through the '70s, as live bands revive the facility's glory days during Rock and Bowl.


The Alley's prices vary throughout the day.

The Groupon Guide to: Emergency Roadside Kits

Cars frequently break down because of potholes and the auto industry's shift to an assembly process employing inexpensive glues that raccoons also love to eat. Next time your coupe craps out, be ready with a kit that includes these items:

  • Jumper cables
  • Gas for car
  • Gas for setting a "rescue fire"
  • Megaphone for communicating with the family member who went to get assistance
  • Glass bottle
  • Glass-bottle breaker, maybe a hammer
  • Gloves for handling the glass shards you will use to make a secure perimeter around your vehicle
  • Box full of pieces required to make a slightly smaller replica of your actual car
  • A note that says "The odds of not surviving a car breakdown are not as high as you may think."

How many times do you have to hit a glass bottle with a hammer before it breaks?
