I read the original post (#1) and jumped right here without reading anyone else’s comments. This is a a tar baby issue but here’s my take. In Fresno, Black, Hispanic, Asian pool players abound and on many nights are the predominant patrons. I believe, and I want to, that local demographics are a primary contributing factor and the population of the pool room changes with the time of day, day of the week and month in the year. It does in Fresno because employment hours on your job can vary with the season that can affect your availability, discretionary funds, other recreational activities and family involvement.
