I lived in Evansville IN for a few years, and would go to this weekly bar tournament. There was a pretty good player who played with the same house cue every week, he said. He loved that cue. Some drunk idiot drove his car into the bar late one night, and that building was condemned, by the city. Seen that same guy at a different tournament, and he was so sad that he lost the use of that house cue. He wanted to get ahold of the owner, to somehow get it, lol. No idea if he was ever able to though. The guy played really good with it too. Must have been a really good house cue.
