Last Pool Hall in Detroit???

Nice article, maybe the next time I go back to visit my friends, I'll drop in. Not sure if they will open the door for me but who knows?
Sad to see all the old places closing up.
 
Isn't Paul's Recreation on Connor still open? Paul Conforto's place?
 
Several years ago I had a student call from the western suburbs of Detroit. I had given him one lesson on his home table, which was an 8' table. He then wanted a lesson on a 10' table. Bill's Recreation filled the bill! I remember feeling a little strange with us being the only two white guys in the joint! Tony was very nice to us, and we did a great lesson on an old Brunswick 10' table.

This article must be a bit of a euphemism or play on words. A quick google yielded the top ten pool rooms in Detroit. Both of the rooms you mentioned still seem to be alive.

Scott,

On an entirely separate note, I was speaking with someone at the recent Shooters Olathe tournament (his first name is Darryl) who gave you a very high recommendation. Thought I'd pass it back to you.

Thanks Will! Darryl Smith is one of our newest PBIA/SPF instructors! He's a great player, and a fine instructor! Glad to have him out there training new students!
