Riviera Lanes stood as a staple of Melrose Park, Illinois, from the mid-century bowling boom that swept Chicago's western suburbs. Opening along North Avenue in the 1950s, it paired league nights with cocktail lounges in a way that defined an era. Places like this didn't just host games, they held neighborhoods together. Part of our Retro Bowling collection, featuring the defunct alleys of yesteryear.
