Paul, Clay says, do you remember when there was a duck pin bowling alley in West End maybe over the old theater or Daniel's variety store (he can't remember which.) When Clay was a kid, he says they used to go to the store at Clover Creamery and get ice cream on the way home from school. I have an old Clover Creamery bottle my mother in law gave me!

Kat, There was a duck pin bowling on Third Avenue, which is in the east end of town. I remember it. It closed and Bibee's grocery went in there. I have a Clover Creamery bottle also. I had a cousin, Don Landrum, who worked there during the early '50s and my brother-in-law, Earl Bishop, worked there in the late '40s. I believe Ole Paul told me one time that he knew Earl.
