Bowling Mecca turns heads

When the king of pins lives in Southwest Florida, you know any new bowling center he builds will be a palace for the game.

Patrick Ciniello, a Naples resident and chairman of bowling-equipment giant QubicaAMF, plans to open an $8 million entertainment center near Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers early next month.

Called HeadPinz, the center will be a showcase for QubicaAMF. It'll have some of the latest gee-whiz technology such as synthetic lanes that can change colors and an electronic scoring system that lets players post their scores on social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
