When I was chasing down Zippy the Pinhead sites, I located the Friendly Hills Bowl and drove there. The outdoor sign was clearly pictured in the Zippy strip, but the last picture didn't match up with anything at this site. Then I realized that I had seen the Googie architecture in the last pane at the previous Zippy bowling alley that I'd just been to. The last pane actually pictures the front of La Habra Bowl.
Since I was there in 2010, it appears that Friendly Hills is closed (from Google Street View photos)
in this Zippy strip "Fast Lane", both bowling alleys are in the Los Angeles, California area.
While passing Friendly Hills Bowl, Zippy says that he needs morre spirituality in his life, alomg with more car commercials, bromance, movies and Cheese. At La Habra Bowl, Zippy says he needs the fundamentalist belief in the sure and certain resurrection of the 7-10 split that only bowling can bring!
