jam session
When the bowling alley was built in Abernathy in the late '50s or so, it was THE place to go. Everybody had a bowling ball and was a member of the men's, women's, church or youth leagues (me included). The building languished but today it houses the Texas War Veterans Thrift Store, operated by a couple of Viet Nam vets. What used to be the lanes is filled with "thrift" merchandise, but the area where the pin setting was is different. It serves as a "club" of sorts with a bar, tables and chairs and a small stage with sound equipment, the piano and guitars.
