Holiday Bowl, Bowling alley in Crenshaw District, Los Angeles, US.
The Holiday Bowl building at 3730 Crenshaw Boulevard featured large windows, sculptural roof forms, and a coffee shop designed in Googie architectural style.
Five Japanese-American entrepreneurs established this bowling center in 1958, providing a gathering space for communities returning from World War II internment camps.
The establishment served diverse cuisines including hamburgers, udon noodles, grits, and Louisiana hot links, reflecting the multicultural character of its patrons.
The facility operated 24 hours daily to accommodate industrial workers' schedules and included bowling lanes, a pool hall, bar service, and dining areas.
The coffee shop section received designation as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument 688 in December 2000, before the building's demolition in 2003.
