This is a photo of one of their several barns, which are world class in size and beauty...

Beautiful. And to ask the question that everyone is wondering...does it have a bowling alley in it?

It looks like it has plenty of room to spare!


You’re welcome.

no bowling alley! But it's an ultra popular wedding spot if you happen to need such a place...

Well done. You better split before the pun police comes.

Yeah, they will strike you down for sure.

Punsters are all a bunch of pinheads. I’m on a pun strike personally.

Stay in your lane, bro.

I’ve been framed.

Hmmm. You could be onto something. I wonder when the White House alley was put in. IIRC, it was added by Nixon. Was bowling once considered a wealthy sport? That could go a long way toward explaining the Vanderbilts and their wannabes. I just think of it as such a blue collar sport today…

That's why the lanes are in their house - no one sees the rich stooping to that level.

Also, if all the amenities the Uber rich can put in their home, why so many bowling alleys? It’s a fun game but not THAT fun and not really much to brag about to other rich friends, I would think.

A home bowling alley checks a lot of boxes. It's available year round because it's not weather dependent. It's a true all age activity so you can have little kids through grandparents playing together. You can even have just one person. You can have 1, 2, 4 etc number of lanes so it can fit in a wide range of spaces. It's also a sociably activity. You bowl your frame then hang out with other people, eat a bit, have a drink until your next turn. I had a friend in high school whose dad built a home with one (and a bunch of other really fancy things) our junior year. At the time that home was a unicorn for my area. I think it's still the largest house in the county. The bowling alley got more use than their movie theater (VCR...he did not do laser disc) or indoor pool (and was less on a liability risk.)

Yeah, that is some back alley stuff right there.

Exactly. If you’re uber wealthy, you’re usually a kingpin! Probably into some squid game style entertainment…

Now that I've had a spare moment to think about it. I think your approach is spot on.

I learned a new word today, thanks!

Can somebody explain what is going on in this room? Is that a teddy bear-based nativity scene in the lower left corner?

You don’t have a 6 foot tall acropolis replica filled with animatronic bears?

Why would I have one that small?

Ski, seclusion, sand or city for a getaway home?
