All-Star Triangle Bowl

All-Star Triangle Bowl

All-Star Triangle Bowl is a bowling alley located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, United States. The lanes are a historic fixture of the community. The original owner was Harry K. Floyd. All-Star Triangle Bowl is most known for its fundamental role in the Orangeburg Massacre, which was sparked as a result of Floyd disallowing people of color to bowl at the privately-owned bowling alley (which was then called All Star Bowling Lane). The bowling alley was owned and operated by Harry Floyd until his death (July 12, 2002)cite web|title=Harry K. Floyd, Sr. Obituary|url=http://www.thetandd.com/articles/2002/07/13/obits/obit_floyd1.txt|accessdate=2006-07-05|date=2002-07-13|work=The Times and Democrat] . Following his death, ownership was passed to his son, Harry Floyd, Jr.

Due to financial difficulties, the Floyd family closed the bowling alley in August 2007.
