Wii Bowling Takes Over Phoenix Family
Are you a Wii Bowler? Do you think you're good at it? If so, we have a couple of people looking for challengers....
At Columbus Park Plaza, where the average age is 82, most of the residents, who have never picked up a video game controller in their life, suddenly can't put the things down.

The Wii has become so popular that The Oaks and Columbus Park recently held Phoenix Family’s first intra-community bowling tournament — Guys and Dolls versus The Bowling Chicks. Just like other sports games, players wore team t-shirts and family and friends gathered to cheer on their teams.
