This is dedicated to the ever so changing Valey Plaza:

So we got a Big Lots there now. We are finally coming up in the world. This new shop takes up the space of old Woolworths and Kennedy shoes.

Is it already open? Big Lots ain't too bad. They actually offer some products that other shops don't have and wouldn't expect to find in the valley.

What's going on with the bowling alley? We're going to need this bowling alley for our Calecia.com Bowling Team. Bol Bol in Mex just isn't going to cut it. Way too pricey.

Are you reviewing again without actually going to the place?

Bol-Bol is cheap if you know what you're doing.
Let me break it down for you.

Option 1
1 lane for 1 hour cost about $17 US dollars.
Shoes rental $1.50.
1 hour = as many fools as you want. I've seen up too 8. Of course, the more drunko's the less games you will bowl.

Option 2
Buy the packet/tickets for $20 bucks.
You get 20 tickets.
Each ticket gives one person one game.
Shoes $1.50

If two people go to bowl you get to bowl about 3-4 games. Anyone who has been bowling will know that after 4 games you'll be too tired and scores will be dropping faster than bud lights around the holidays.

Thus, you buy the packet between two fools. You bowl each 3 games, which is a total of 6 tickets and your done. This was probably the amount you would have bowled by renting the 1 hour lane. Thus, the next time you come to play all you have to do is rent your shoes that by the way you had to rent anyways if you would have gone with option 1. So you get 14 tickets lefts that anyone can use.

The only catch with Option 2 is that you can only bowl from 11am to 5 pm and 10 pm till 2am M-F. No weekends.

Beers, Clamatos, and Smokes are cheap too.

That is a good deal. If I remember correctly the bowling alley at NAF El Centro charges $1.50 per game and $0.75 for shoe rental. And I thought that was a deal.

No, I've actually been there once.

Option 1 sucks. You risk getting cut off in the middle of a game. When I went, it was two of us and we were barely able to get in 3 games.

Like you've stated, the more players you add, the less games you play.

This appears to be the best option, but I didn't see it in the pricing list. Maybe this was some type of summer deal?

The bowling time is unrealistic, unless you take the day off (or you don't have a job). Maybe after 10 PM after a few drinks somewhere else.

Bohemias are ~$32 pesos. At $36 pesos, buy your smokes outside... killer markup.
