I was just wondering if anyone on this forum was from, or near, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area?

I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, North Hills/West View. I grew up bowling in McNight Lanes on McNight Road, which no longer exists and appeared in the movie Kingpin.

However, I now live in Maryland. In a lot of ways, I wish I were back in Pgh as most of my family is there.

My proshop guy drilled all of the balls for that movie. And my coworker at the lanes was asked to throw strikes for the movie. They asked for a tall thin lefty, and he was selected but he couldn't do it because of work.

It's a damn shame too because not too long after that movie, the owners sold the lanes to some f'ing foreign furniture company.

Now, there are no good bowling alleys around there that I know of. Only some smaller ones that I can think of. Pine's Plaza and Perry Lanes. Other than that, for me, the next closest would be Mars (also in the movie) or Zelienople, both further north.
