That's interesting, I always thought Duckpin was primarily a Baltimore-area thing! Never knew it was present in New England, in my head that's Candlepin country. I quite enjoy both, but Duckpin is my personal favorite. I'm surprised that no eccentric-entrepreneurial-type person has ever tried opening a Duckpin or Candlepin alley in Brooklyn. Honestly I think it would do quite well: more accessible than ten-pin due to the lighter balls; family-friendly during the day; sufficiently novel and retro enough to attract the hipster set at night. Similar vibe to the resurgence in pinball, skee-ball, etc.
