KYW "Down The Shore" -- Hitting the Skee-Ball Bullseye
by KYW's Donna Francavilla --
Any kid -- or former kid -- who's spent time at the Jersey shore knows about that arcade bowling game called Skee-Ball.
Now here's something you probably didn't know: Skee-Ball was invented by a Philadelphian more than 100 years ago.
And while Skee-Ball is still popular, Rose Uniglicht says it has more competition these days:
"For kids, that's no challenge anymore. They want video things. They don't want Skee-Ball. To me, when I was a kid, Skee-Ball was the biggest thing. And it was a dime! I would just play it all day. But things change."
Larry and Rose Uniglicht say that playing Skee-Ball is still a great Jersey shore pastime.
