Yet Another Car Crash at the Black Cat

This one has a twist.

The mention of Gilbert Bullock reminds me that this is supposed to be the Ainsworth blog, not the Crash-at-the-Black-Cat blog. This particular Gilbert was the son of Claude Bullock and his second wife, Mary Ann Chandler. The 1950 Census shows him living at Peter Bates' hotel, 314 Main Street.

The Gazette actually published bowling league scores weekly in this time frame, or at least in the late 1940s.

Nice to see a photo of the bowling alley. It was in the basement of the building.
