Not well-known in many parts of the U.S., candlepin bowling is mostly found in New England and nearby parts of Canada. The aging alleys are now held together with 'duct tape and bubble gum.'

Mowery is 20 years old and knows how to fix most lane problems on the spot. She started working here in 2019 and grew to love the sport and building relationships with customers. In 2020, her mom bought the business and Mowery began running the day-to-day operations.Sofia Aldinio for NPR
