Listened to POBPAH on Blip.fm. I think I’ll come back and buy this later at some point.

“The Holler House lanes are older than any other certified bowling alley in the United States. After World War II people in south Milwaukee started buying cars and driving to new multiplex alleys with 24 lanes and automatic scoring, but the Holler House hung on, thanks to either the stubbornness or the inertia of its owner, Marcy Skowronski. Marcy and her husband, Gene, moved into the apartment behind the bar in 1952, when she was a 26- year-old bride. Gene has since passed away, but 80-year-old Marcy is still serving up drinks, even though the years have squashed her down to four-foot-ten and she can barely see over the bottles on the bar.”
