Searching for air conditioning in St. Louis

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:18:36 GMT

BRIDGETON, Mo. – An office group of bowlers at Kingpin Lanes in Bridgeton spent Wednesday enjoying the air-conditioned bowling alley. The group believes the plan for an indoor team building event was a good choice.“It’s a very good move in late August in St. Louis,” said bowler Donna Houseman.Gary Shenberg, the owner of the bowling complex, recently installed a portable AC unit and additional window shades in the entryway to help keep the heat from intruding.“When our leagues bowl, we get a lot of people in here,” he said.Shenberg said a 70-degree temperature range is the perfect atmosphere for enjoying bowling, food, and drinks.The complex also includes sand volleyball courts, but the extreme heat canceled league play this week. The heat did not cancel practice for some competitive beach volleyball players who were sharpening their skills on the sand in the afternoon heat. Close Thanks for signing up!
