- In the third episode of UP, Steve and Bill explore the Beaver County PA Landmark, the Beaver Valley Bowl. We also discuss how the place was used as a filming location for the Farrelly Brothers' movie, "Kingpin".
I played pool a lot in the early 90’s late eighties
That floor with the mini hockey rink , was an Improv Comedy show called The Cellar Dwellars. My brother ran it for YEARS & being a young kid, that hockey rink behind the scenes was so cool. The wall of shame and all that were games the audience would engage in. Cool video guys . Took me back
Hey Tyler! Thanks so much for sharing the information on it! That's so cool that your brother ran the Improv, as well! We loved the Wall of Shame. 😆 Lots of funny off-color things on those little sticky notes! The hockey rink was probably amazing for kids as well! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Take care!
I also went bowling many times actually if anybody goes back after today let me know if the leg massager is still in the bowling alley
I don’t think much is left. They’re converting the building to apartments now, unfortunately.
I use to do overnight bowl during the early to mid 1970's here at BV Bowl. Had some great times with friends. Those were the days with some great times. I left BC in the early 1980's for California out west, and now in Florida in retirement. I still visit the area from time to time. In 3.5 years it will be my 50th high school reunion in Beaver PA. I hope I can do my 50th, my health could be better. 😊
Here's hoping you do get to do your 50th reunion! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences here! I never knew that they did overnight bowling! That must have been great! Thanks for the comment and for sharing your memories with us!
Late to the party. Those pinsetters are worth a couple hundred bucks each. Can't believe they didn't sell them off or scrap them.
Better late than never I guess! 😂 Actually right now it seems as though someone has bought the building, and there’s some activity on site. It might end up being a bowling alley once again, from what I’ve read. Here’s hoping!
@@UnauthorizedPersonnel I wish it was the case but the guy who bought it is fixing it up and turning into condos. I know this cause my husband is a contractor and is do this project
There is electricity in the building now and a lot of the trash is gone. I found pics of bill murry n woody from when they did the movie and same with Toby McGuire and Michael Douglas pics
Well that’s a total bummer. I was hoping that it would be restored to its former glory. Housing is important. I’m sure it’s probably been purchased by some private equity company or hedge fund though 😞.
@@UnauthorizedPersonnel nope just a guy from Butler that saw it and loved it. So he wants to try and keep a lot of the outside look but make it condos . Yes it's a bummer definitely. I was talking to him and talked him into keeping the old signs and art they have there. It adds to its old antique charm now I do know he wants to do more then just condos also but haven't really asked him to many question. It was sad the day my hubby had to cut the alley floor up. But ppl pày big money for that for some reason even the messed up pieces it crazy
I'll guarantee you there's parts on those Brunswick pinsetters centers will pay for.
I believe that the current owners are selling off what they can as part of their renovation process. They’re salvaging parts of the flooring, etc. I would imagine that if they were doing that, the pinsetters are probably also being sold off as well.
That was kind of the point. The bar was an after hours activity.
What was kind of the point? I’m confused. 🫤
You know this place is owned and being worked on now and has been for about 7mo ths now. My husband is a contractor that was hired to do the project. Just a fyi so u go after 5pm if anyone goes again
We try to avoid active construction sites for ethical and safety reasons. Thanks for the tip though! 😉
@@UnauthorizedPersonnel I'm the same way but some ppl don't think like us.
Dude does that Pepsi vending machine work?
No clue. 😁
@@UnauthorizedPersonnel Try it out! I bet someone will buy that regardless of condition. Call Rick at American Restoration, or Rick at Pawn Stars.
@@teejay6063 I don't have anything to do with reclamation of property there, so I can't try anything. But I'm sure that whatever can be sold off will be. 😄
No matter how you try to explain what you’re doing, you are trespassing. This should not be celebrated.
You’re entitled to your opinion and we’re entitled to ours. Nobody forced you to watch.
@@UnauthorizedPersonnel fair enough.
Technically anyone that isn't related to neanderthals is trespassing in the Americas. Also, you dont get to leave property to rot, the earth was destroyed creating places like this. It needs to be taken care of or destroyed and nature allowed to take over. This is no one persons choice. Life will always find a way to weed out the bad. ;)
