Dress Code for Gold Crown Billiards, Erie, PA

I will attest to Paul's pool room. It is First Class all the way. All he needs to do now is get rid of the Smoking. By 8:00pm during his Tourney my eyes are killing me. I wouldn't care if i was drinking and having fun but i need to see that Bleeping Ball. I might play better if i can see.
 
Smoking Is Allowed At Gold Crown Billiards???

Thanks for letting me know. I was planning a trip there to check the place out. No way would I want to spend time in a pool room that allows smoking, Smoking is just plain nasty. I smoked a carton a week for 41 years and quit 2 years ago last June. Best thing I ever did period. My pool game even got a little better. My clothes smell better. My house smells better. I can smell someone who smokes from 10 feet away when they come in from having a cig. All the pool rooms I play in central Ohio make everyone go outside to smoke and its a good thing.

I encourage you to come to Erie anyway. We have one of the finest state parks in the country in Presque Isle State Park. It has seven miles of beaches, boating, hiking, biking, fishing and every other outdoor activity you can think of. It is just beautiful. We also have an old time amusement park with a brand new wooden roller coaster that is rated one of the best in the world. There is also a Fox & Hound with all Diamond Tables just 1 mile down the street from us.

Paul,

Glad to see your dress code. In Vegas, most anything goes. Pool Sharks has a sign at the door about any kind of "gang" colors and various headwear. They actually have a doorman (nights) whose job it is to ask the mis-dressed to change or leave. I'm not asking for a return to shirt and tie days but the cloths some young people wear is disgusting. And it's not just the guys. One young Asian lady had a fcuk shirt on last night at the pool room. Am I missing something? Am I just too old to understand? Possibly both?

I have never seen anyone asked to leave pool Sharks because of the way they dress.

I have had a dress code for 32 years and have had to update it periodically to address the latest offensive or disrespectful fad. This year it was pajama bottoms.

Is this a repeat or did it just get bumped up?

If I owned a pool hall and someone came in with pajama bottoms or their pants hanging below their ass I'd tell them to leave. However, you have twenty three items on your dress code, all but four of which I consider stupid.

Sometimes I play in a dress shirt and tie with cufflinks, sometimes I play in jeans and workboots, and sometimes I play in long nylon workout pants, and, at least once, I played with a ballcap on backwards.

As they say in some parts of this country, "You're all et' up with yourself".
 
I used to wear a hoodie while sitting around a campfire.
I thought they were made for function not for gang war fare.

Construction workers wear them because they have a hood that keeps your head warm under a hard hat.

Joggers wear them. I bet there are a few men of the cloth that wear them also.

Exactly what did I miss here?

What does it mean when you wear a hoodie indoors or in a poolroom or in 80 degree weather? It ain't cold. I get it.
 
Well, seeing you put it that way. If you wear a hood in those kind of temps, thats called stupidity.

Instead of No Hoodies, I would state, No Stupid People.

That should cover it.

Bill Belichick apparently wouldn't be welcome. :p

The Trayvon Martin case is a perfect example. Attire is a form of communication. The thug culture wears hoodies. If you don't want to be treated like a nazi, don't wear a swastika. If you don't want to be treated like a hoodlum, don't wear a hoodie. Gold Crown Billiards in Erie Pa does not permit hoods.

Well in your neighborhood I would not wear a hoodie. It well be sorted out in the courts.

Ban what you like but don't stereotype.

Well it is his place and he can run it how he likes.
I take issue with him throwing Treyvon into this. If you think it is in anyway someones fault they got stalked and shot for wearing a hoodie by a wanna be neighborhood watch you got life seriously screwed up. This is what stereotyping gets you as you have shown yourself heavily into.

I wear work boots etc every day (hoodies in the winter) normally get out of em to go to the poolroom for comfort reasons but i wouldn't come in your place no matter how nice it is simply for your judgmental stance.

What you do works for your business obviously but in this thread you have seen fit to shove it down our throats as the only way it should be. That is what makes you come off as judgmental in my opinion. Just because your business model is successful does not mean it is the ONLY way to be successful.

I saw some of the pics Paul posted and there was a white boy playing that had a base ball cap and sweat shirt on. Must have been the mayors son.

If a black kid showed up with the same attire, that would be grounds to refuse entry. So, its purely a pick and choose thing.

I do believe that if any of Paul's friends showed up wearing a pillow case it would be OK cause it would be Tuesday night meeting time.

Post 104.

Backwards base ball cap and a hoodie under that pic.

With the Nike logo? I do not believe the hat is on backwards... I also don't believe it make a dimes worth of difference either way.
 
I did notice what seemed to be a staff member, a female server of some sort carrying napkins to a table, wearing a Starter shirt.

The LAPD, among other law enforcement agencies, has officially published this as a gang member identifier. People can be and have been killed over such things. It is a clear gang association.

Has this employee been terminated?
 
I love these.

I only wish they could invent a device that administers an electric shock to the person who insists on wearing their pants low enough to see their boxers.

Of all the new "styles" out there, this has to be the worst.

I also love how some posters take the dress code to extremes. You don't want people to dress like a$$holes in your place, so they make the assumption that you want everyone to wear suits...what a joke.

My mother always said...a bar of soap is very cheap.

If you can't make the effort to look like a decent human being when you leave your home, you don't deserve the respect you seem to demand from everyone else.
