We were cruising around the neighborhood this weekend when we came across this abandoned bowling alley on Snyder between Flatbush and Bedford. Can't seem to find any info about it online, except for this empty Yelp page (who sets up a Yelp page for a closed down bowling alley?). It seems like it may have been pretty popular back when Marty Markowitz lived in the hood. Maybe The Fonz nabbed a four bagger here after finishing his shift as an usher at Loew's Kings Theater. Anybody have any Diplomat Bowl stories?

Yeah, I hung out at "The Dip" back in 1963-64 when I was in high school. Also at Garfields cafeteria on the corner of Flatbush and Church ave. At the "Dip" we never went bowling, just hung out and listened to the Juke Box, ate pizza, drank Cherry Cokes and watched the broads. There was a weird older dude who liked guys and kept inviting us back to his apartment. What a sicko he was, I think he got his ass kicked a few times. But, the Diplomat had charactor, and some hot-lookin' broads, reminded me of the girls in the singing group "The Ronettes".
ah yes, the good old days in Bklyn
