"Slide, Roll, Slam" is an observative account of the various personalities and activities between the lanes of Nicole William's town bowling alley. Shes describes the older men in their 50's and 60's as quiet and looking to just have a good time. She describes the younger, more competive men as very loud and supportive of their teamates. As one individual prepares to bowl, she says, " one man rubs the bowling ball in his hand as if warming it up will have an effect on the game". As she becomes less amused with the action going on where the games are taking place, she relocates herself near the main entrance to view the bulletin board. Up on the wall it reads the reasonable prices for the proper shoes to rent, strings to play and senior citizen deals. She feels that these deals will make the customers return for more entertainment. Then, as she continues to stroll through the building she describes the desirable concession stand, with its delicious pizza, hot dogs and chocolate. This place can simply be described as heaven.
As the night comes to a close, the narrator heads back to the lanes to see whats taking place between the rambuncious men. Personalized bowling balls are returned to their bags, the small chat is brought outside and a crazy man in shorts is acting like he is nuts in the cold weather. This paper is a complete summary of what I would expect to see at my local bowling alley. Enjoyable entertainment and a great friend and family atmosphere is what makes this sight special. A series of of eveings spent at this location will lead to a lifetime supply of memories.
