It’s that time again, folks! It’s time for all the Retro Richmond readers to get together and talk about all the mid-century places we love in this great city! This time we’ll be conversing while throwing strikes at Plaza Bowl!

For those who don’t know, Plaza Bowl is a duckpin bowling alley and is the only one of its kind in the area. The balls are smaller, the pins are smaller, and it costs less than regular bowling. Duckpin bowling gained popularity in the 1930s, and the interior of Plaza Bowl doesn’t look like it’s stepped a day out of the 1950s.

We will be meeting, this Saturday, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. at Plaza Bowl. (Directions)

I had the pleasure of meeting Retro Richmond reader David last weekend, and he has assured me that he and his wife will be there AND he’s bringing some goodies for show-and-tell! I’m especially excited about that!

So come out, throw a few gutterballs and let’s talk about mid-century modernism! You never know what other fun things we might uncover! During our last MCMeetup, we got an impromptu special tour of the old Bellevue Theater (which was also featured on North Richmond News. Very exciting!).

If you would like more information about the MCMeetup or have any questions, shoot me an e-mail at olivia@retrorichmond.com.

Hope to see everyone there!
