Riviera Lanes - Melrose Park, IL - Vintage Bowling Alley - Unisex T-Shirt Size:S Lanes like this one wereRiviera Lanes stood as a staple of Melrose Park, Illinois, from the mid century bowling boom that swept Chicago's western suburbs. Opening along North Avenue in the 1950s, it paired league nights with cocktail lounges in a way that defined an era. Places like this didn't just host games, they held neighborhoods together.
