Having grown up at bowling alleys in the 80s and 90s, I can say that Candlepin’s decline was in full swing by the time Don Gillis’ show was canceled, as sad as that was. Very few kids were bowling by the 90s as compared to the 60s and 70s, when practically everyone bowled in at least one league. As shown here, it was a multi-faceted decline, which was aided by the fact that there wasn’t any person or group that acted as a custodian of the sport. Every house did their thing. The MBA was controlled by only a few owners, and they did next to nothing to grow the game. It does require a big investment to own a bowling alley, in terms of both money and time, and it’s probably a better business strategy to invest in something like a trampoline park, that needs far less maintenance and can be easily converted to another purpose. But, bowling is a lot more fun than jumping on trampolines, in my opinion anyway, which means the world is poorer today, as far as I can see.

A lot of truths told. Truths about the greatness of candlepin, and truths about its losing ground year after year, to this day. Don Riley gave a concise explanation regarding the loss of the channel 5 show.

Not ever forgotten, always within...not ever without✨💫💗

That was great basketball back then

Thanks for posting this documentary, I had high hopes at the start of the video that the Nobska was still being restored, but was saddened when I discovered that it had been scrapped in 2006. My first trip to the islands was aboard the Nobska in 1964, my mom would have gotten sea-sick, so it was just my dad and I. We took the car, an Oldsmobile on the boat. I think he was a little apprehensive about driving the car onto the boat, making that turn on the boat and then backing into position so he asked me to do it, I was 17 years old at the time and had no fear of driving so I was thrilled to be able to do it. Looks like all the present boats are high efficiency people movers and that's okay, but I do long for the days when half the fun was in the journey.

R.I.P. Sir.

RIP Tom Larson

My Mom in this

I go to this school lol

Nice video

I remember going over to Vineyard Haven to visit my cousin on the Nobska in the summers in the '60's. During the winter she was layed up in Woods Hole. Even though she wasn't as trimmed out as in past years it was still a thrill. All of us younger kids would head up to the after deck before she approached West Chop to get a cooling spray as the whistle announced the pending arrival in Vineyard Haven. In later years, it was sad to see her towed off to Baltimore and then Fall River and finally to Charlestown Shipyard, where I last saw her...that was sad, but at least I got to tell a visiting tourist family about her history. The saddest was when I read that she was being scrapped. The last of the "White Line", and last of the true steam ships to the islands. Glad I got a chance to experience sailing on her, and I'll always remember that whistle. . .

Thanks for posting. I have lived on the Cape since 1958 and remember these boats and others that ran out of Hyannis

Can you tell us how old is this documentry? When were these guys interviewed?

I remember watching Joe play and what a gunner he was a total assassin

I remember watching the E. C. A. C. game of the week on the local television stations in the New York -New Jersey area. I remember my Saturday afternoons watching eastern powers Syracuse., Providence Manhattan, St. Johns and Rutgers and other teams. I was proud of them all and when Providence almost pulled off the upset of the ages by getting to the final 4and would have faced UCLA with Bill Walton. Oh what it could have been

I WAS ON THIS SHIP! THIS ONE AND THE MARTHA'S VINYARD, I WAS ON BOTH OF THESE SHIPS IN THE LATE 60'S EARLY 70'S

My parents used to rent a stateroom on board the Nobska for the trip to Nantucket from Woods Hole from 1969 until 1973 when the Nobska was taken out of service.

This was a very interesting, informative and well made mini-documentary. I enjoyed it very much and felt a part of the team on the edge of my seat and holding my breath as the painting came down. What amazing progress has been made in the conservation and care of the world's artistic treasures. Kudos to all those involved in this project. Thank you!

no disrespect AT ALL to otis thorpe but he didn't equal star clyde drexler and the rockets wouldn't have won those titles without legend hakeem olajuwon

Ray is the best...

Otis and Carl Brown came to Chad Brown every week and Balled out

4:33 These are by the painter Sargent. There are no videos on UA-cam about the paintings by Sargent in the Boston Public Library, please can someone make one

when is head of the charles

bro dropped a documentary 10 years ago and now youtube decides to throw it in the algorithm.

Are these all 06'

i dont know one person that thinks 'head of the charles' over the Olympics

that was great

Got to play on the same court with him, Evans Field, North Providence, also saw Ernie D there. Go PC!

Thanks for posting! Great stuff!

Was scrolling through UA-cam and came across this video. Brings back fond memories of my teen years in the bay area listening to Bill King on the radio announcing the Golden State Warriors. Bill King referred to Joe Hassett as the Mad Bomber, the dude can flat out shoot. Way ahead of his time.

Legend

Ahead of his time

Loved this. I rowed on the GWU crew team before the Head of the Charles started in 1965. The Potomac was never as busy as the Charles is now, but I immediately identify with the feelings and memories expressed by the rowers in this beautifully produced video. Living near Boston now we will certainly be in Cambridge for the 56 year of the event.

Awesome makes me even more proud to be a Friar

He should be in the conversation for greatest shooter of all time

Miss u doing bruins games

MY LATE ENGLISH TEACHER TOLD ME BEFORE HE DIED IN1991 THAT TOM LARSON REALLY HATED THE BOSTON BRUINS AND SECRETLY WANTED THEM TO LOSE. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HEARD THIS STATEMENT AS WELL?

Tom was the best! I used to love when he said , “ Stay tuned for Boston Bruins Hockey” ........

Fred Cusick and Johnny Peirson, bought enthusiasm, knowledge and class to The B's telecast. Tom brought all that PLUS he brought the "cool" too, to us young dudes growing up during that time. I'll never forget these men or those teams. In a life littered with too many falls They picked me up many times and still do.

This is a great video for us who lived in Boston diuring those years. Great to see Tom Larson again!!!

Well, he may not have shaved it, but he surely trimmed it. I was expecting a BEARD! LOL

I would think Tom Larson is nearly 70, and is probably retired now.

I miss Tom Larson, Ive watched him since the 1972 season!!....COME BACK TOMMY!!!

This is too good! Ol' Tom looks fantastic!

He'll be shaving it again in 2012!
