Opened in 1961, Futurama Bowl was an mainstay in San Jose, CA as both a bowlingalley and entertainment venue. The Bowling alley featured 42 lanes of what wasthen state-of-the-art l anes. The iconic sign in front was a classic example ofGoogie architecture. The front entrance was covered by two large, domedstructures.Somewhat in conflict with the modern, space-age look of the bowling alley wasthe restaurant/lounge called The Magic Carpet Room. Adorned with over 470,000beads, the Arabian Knights themed nightspot was at odds with the FuturamaBowling Alley Space-Aged theme. Also in the complex was a fitness center calledThe Glamorama Room. Not sure what that might have been like, but I expect thatglamor and bowling maybe went together somehow.The image for this shirt was taken from an old matchbook, scanned, digitallytraced and recolored, the image is free of artifacts and jagged edges whichusually accompany reproductions of this sort. Printed in-house on a 100% cottont-shirt, the stock for this image is Vintage Red, but we can put this on almostany color by request,Published using Nembol Show more
