If you could do one thing in all 50 states,
what would it be?
For Mike Walsh, the answer was simple: bowl. Propelled by a curiosity to see America through a common, if beer-framed, lens, he quits his job and sets out to meet the people who populate the country’s bowling alleys. His adventure becomes much more than a simple bowling trip as he veers beyond the game’s ten frames and into the heart of America. The resulting book, BOWLING ACROSS AMERICA: 50 States in Rented Shoes, is in bookstores now.
