Just to pass the time, here is a review of Tomball Bowling Alley owned by John Jarvis. I suppose this is one of the places where some of the shady deals were discussed between Dial, Newman, and Jarvis. Not really surprised by the negative review.

2 out of 5 stars
Not particularly enthusiastic about the lane quality, staff quality, food quality....well the overall quality of this establishment. I wish I could actually be surprised I recall seeing 'under new management' signs up at least 3 times in the 6 years I've lived here.

It is clear they want money only and have not figured out taking care of the reason people are there in the first place - bowling - i.e. the lanes and the pits is how you do that.

The lanes are horribly cleaned/waxed. The pits are full of debris that sticks to shoes and gets carried onto the lanes. And when you draw their attention to this they act as if you sprouted 18 heads and are speaking a foreign language.

The food is insanely overpriced and worse than the nastiest fast food place I've ever eaten in.

I realise I am biased after decades of Palace Lanes, but as far as I am concerned they should be the standard and not the shining star.

I've been to Tomball Bowl twice - hoping the second time things would be better but alas no.
