Historical Data	Bowling is one of the largest participation activities worldwide. The earliest forms of bowling date back to ancient Egypt, but to date, there are many forms of bowling; in the U.S., the best known is probably ten-pin bowling, both in amateur and professional versions. For nearly a century, ten-pin bowling lanes had a surface made of wood. Beginning about 1980, most ten-pin lane surfaces have been converted to or built with a synthetic material imitating a wooden surface.
Description	View 1: Overview of an unidentified outdoor bowling alley in Hollywood, circa 1929. Several people are shown standing at the base of their lanes, taking aim with their bowling balls. Behind them, bowlers wait for their turn or just watch the progress of the game. The Hollywood Laundry Service Co., Inc., a very large laundry and dry cleaning building, can be seen across the way, which runs the length of the street.
