Ball Square bowling alley

[ron_newman]

Has anyone here ever been inside the Ball Square bowling alley? It's on Boston Avenue, on the Medford side of the square. When I've occasionally walked by it, it never seemed to be open, and no hours were posted on the door. It is not listed under "Bowling" in the Verizon or Yellow Book directories. When I call its phone number, (781) 306-0716, I hear one or two rings followed by silence (not even a click).

Is this place actually open? If so, when?

- rarely open with any sort of regularity in hours
- no customers, yet it stayed open for a good long while
- low shelves, dusty stock, etc.

This is mostly joking speculation, but, who knows. :-)

A friend who lives above it told me that "convenient" in this case meant "when it's convenient for the owner". Which apparently was noon to 2pm on alternate Thursdays in months ending in Y.

Now it's "Salon Cu". Because the thing Ball Square needed most was another hair salon.
