What is the origin of the Fast Eddie's pool halls? Where was the 1st one located? Did they have anything to do with the real Fast Eddie? Are they part of a franchise?

There was no real Fast Eddie, according to Walter Tevis, the author of The Hustler and The Color of Money. He was a composite of pool players Tevis had seen, just like the character Minnesota Fats.
