Skyway Bowl was a historic bowling alley nestled in Jeffery Manor, on Chicago’s Far South Side. After serving generations of families, friends and league bowlers for more than 70 years, it closed its doors for the final time on April 26, 2026. On its final day, NBC Chicago visited Skyway Bowl, where hundreds of longtime bowlers and loyal supporters returned for one last $2 game—and one final opportunity to say goodbye to a place that had become far more than just a bowling alley. For many, Skyway Bowl was a cornerstone of the community, filled with cherished memories, lifelong friendships, and a profound sense of home. #chicago #localbusiness#southsidechicago #skywaybowl #documentary
