What’s Wrong Atlanta? What’s wrong with Atlanta bowling? Why is it that Atlanta is a major league city in all sports but strictly minor league when it comes to bowling? If you have any ideas on this subject Creative Loafing will be glad to receive them and publish as many as space will permit. In fact we will go so far as to make this a contest and will award a new bowling ball to the writer who best expresses himself on the topic. Send your letters to Creative Loafing, P.O. Box 8272, Atlanta, GA 30306.
