Bowlero Mission Valley
1895 Camino del Rio South
1956-1964



Looks to me like that fellow in the portico is getting in or out of a nice '58 Cadillac, possibly driven by the little woman.  She's probably headed up the hill to the Red Fox Room

San Diego Union • May 8, 1964

I can't find any dates on the internet, but I'm guessing they tore down the Masonic Rite Center in 2024 or so and built an impressive new structure on the west side of the parking lot.  Rumors persist that a Home Depot will go on the vacated property.  Anyone who ever waited to access Texas Street from Camino del Rio South is wondering if professionals did the traffic impact study.

My parents were in bowling leagues at the Bowlero in Mission Valley. We would go down there at least once a week while they bowled! Fond memories. I also went to the gem society events For years. And who can forget the Sandy and the classics night. All schools!!! Crawford had their own table and it was a blast! Linda Coleman Peterson ‘69
