Dinner and Bowling....the down south way

So me and Joe decided that it would be fun to take the family out for dinner and bowling. Well, you see, in our small town, the only "family" restaurant is J.B's (yeah, high dining)and the only bowling center is, well, I will describe that one in a sec.
So we take the kids to this fancy restaurant named J.B's, which by the way, the initials stand for "Just Broke", anyway, we sit and order. Our waiter asks us for drinks, and we give him our order for drinks. We sit, and sit and sit and wait and wait, playing hand games with each other, creating new worlds out of napkins, comparing the size of each others hands, etc, etc. Then we get our drinks. I'm thinking to myself, "If this is how long it takes to get drinks, then by the time we get our food, we will be bowling at midnight!"
And we are maybe 1 of 5 tables of customers that night, so I can't blame it on how busy they were.
So, we order and continue to play more games, stare into nothingness...
A million years later our food shows up, well, everyone's but Christophers and Jayce's. Which is really bad, because Jayce is starving and thinks that he won't get any food, and well Christopher was just eyeing my fries the whole time.
A little while later after I had thrown Jayce some pity fries, his food came. We ate and had to put the rest in a "to-go" container and left for bowling.
We arrived at our little bowling alley, now let me take a moment to describe this place. It's a business, at one time, I was told, was really fun, it had a water slide, a mini golf course, 20 lanes of bowling, pool, video games, a restaurant. Fast forward to now, the golf course is overran with weeds, and closed, they put up a wall and cut the bowling alley into 10 lanes, no restaurant, and the water slide looks like something post apocalyptic.
We get there about 45 minutes before they close. The lady behind the desk looks like we just woke her from a hundred year slumber, and with her sat a man with a tiny dog next to him. Enough said.
We get shoes, and go to our lanes. They actually had to turn the lights on for us, well, because we were the only ones there.
I kept thinking to myself, "If they would paint the walls, install some lights, replace the carpet, hire someone alive, and advertise, this place could make some money. And with that money, they could fix the mini golf course, maybe turn the other side into a roller skating rink and open the restaurant again. I wouldn't even try to fix the water slide, that thing looks beyond repair."
It's sad, because that place is the closest thing to our home that has some semblance to "fun".
After we got home, I just decided this:
1. I make way better food then J'B's and a lot cheaper
2. Playing wii with the family is ten times funner then putting on ancient bowling shoes and playing in the "land before time" bowling center.
