A two-lane bowling alley beneath the Eisenhower Executive Office Building is getting a $253,000 upgrade, with federal funds being used to fix broken lights and carry out other maintenance. The contract was awarded to Charles Mann Enterprises, whose founder is a former Washington Redskins player and three-time Super Bowl champion. The spending comes as the Trump administration pursues a much broader overhaul of the White House and its surrounding grounds, with other projects carrying price tags in the hundreds of millions. The bowling alley has a long presidential history, having been installed for Harry Truman in 1947 before being moved to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in 1955.
