ICYMI - talking with the mighty @survivesocpod about why bowling alleys and bingo halls matter for cities.

[𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐫𝐡𝐲𝐬-𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫 @alexrhystaylor]

the sociality of snooker halls has been an obvious victim of the value of the floor space taken up by tables. snooker and pool all but gone from most pubs, as they seek to pay bills by replacing gaming tables with sit-down-and-eat space.

i say flippant things on here. but i say this with the greatest sincerity. snooker halls like this should be protected. worth classifying as “assets of community value.”

On the day bowling alleys reopen, an oral history of Rowans in Time Out. Glad to contribute!

[Emma Jackson @EmmakJackson]

Really chuffed that my paper is on this shortlist. This one goes out to the bowlers missing the lanes... 🎳

Great to see a strangely familiar bowling alley on Killing Eve last night, Barcelona or Finsbury Park?

[Sociology Journal @sociologyjnl]

Open access paper by @EmmakJackson uses an ethnographic study of a bowling alley to illustrate ‘practices of belonging and becoming’ https://t.co/VwwLYL4ysa

Looking forward to this am going to talk for the first time about my chequered past playing basketball and how it went from a white suburban game to a black inner city one.

Sage advice from a league bowler 'Patience, you just have to wait.If you watch a good golfer, they have this wait for the optimum moment to strike their ball. They’ve got crowds, they’ve got cameras but they will play the shot when they’re ready. It’s just the same with bowling.'

“Gil Scott-Heron famously noted that the revolution would not go better with Coke, and certainly would not be televised. It now appears, if Nike’s current advertising campaign is to be believed, that the revolution comes embossed with a Swoosh.” https://t.co/2Kf9xMHQNI

Affordability is key! In a context of mixed traders and mixed users the affordability of space, goods and services is the bedrock of the economic and social life of the #ElephantandCastle Shopping Centre. Access the full report here: https://t.co/Q1Cvx9myHM
