Glow-up for the White House’s secret bowling lane
The General Services Administration awarded about $253,000 for lighting work on the White House’s two-lane Truman Bowling Alley, with a separate $8,800 escort-services contract for the same project; this revival of a renovation that had previously stalled under Obama—when a full rebuild was shelved amid partisan backlash—highlights the longstanding, politically charged history of upgrades to the White House bowling facility in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building basement.
