Smells like a bowling alley

If you've been to a bowling alley, you know what I'm talking about.

The smell of a bowling alley is composed of:

stale cigarette smoke
stale beer
bowling alley wax
greasy fried food
whatever it is they spray inside of bowling shoes
the powerful chemicals in the bowling ball polisher
stale chewing gum
cigarette butts and ashes (which do smell different from stale cigarette smoke)
sweat (bowling is hard)
spilled cola and other soft drinks

These combine synergistically into a smell uniquely its own.
