I feel your pain! I remember when Bowlerland(Van Nuys,Ca) closed their doors for good in 2001 I think. It was like 5-10 min from my house! Thankfully though I have several bowling houses(Matador lanes,Mission Hills Bowl,Corbin Bowl & Woodlake Bowl) that are with in 10-20 min from me. You will find 1 near you i'm sure so keep the faith and good bowling.
