Efren-Davenport...............

I love those old school posters. Does anyone know what year that was. I guess when you are putting on an event, it's obvious but then when the poster becomes vintage it's a bit murkier. The woman in that poster is wearing a mighty thin shirt. I can imagine a lot of miscues when she walked through the pool hall.

Early-mid 90's i believe.
 
Kim partnered up with a couple of other players to buy Boulevard Billiards after Barry B. passed away. Audie Perez? and one other guy. I used to know all their names but they slip me now. Audie was a good player, maybe the eight ball under Kim. Garczar, you know don't you.

Audie and Dave Ferroni and Kim opened champion. Audie played a couple balls under Kim, Dave played a ball under him iirc.

It was closed down for a while before they reopened it, it sat vacant and Barry had Blvd a mile up the street. I was living in Sacramento & Stockton when this happened but I’m 86.67274% sure that I’m right about this.

Then Joe got it, and Jay and I sold him some tables in 09 which was years later.

There’s a few Modesto guys on AZB that might be able to verify this.

Fun times,
Eric

In post #16. the same one where he posts the picture of the poster, garczar posts a link to another thread that gives a ton more information about the poster including directly from the artist himself. In that thread they put a bunch of clues together and come to the conclusion that the year of that event was most likely 1983.

I remembered Dave Ferroni was the third partner after I posted earlier. Thanks for clarifying that, and for straightening out that they built Championship Billiards and did not take over Boulevard. Dave got bought out after awhile and in the end Audie continued the business himself for many years. Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
BTW, excuse THE SHIT out of me for being off on that poster date. I'll refrain from looking this stuff up any longer. WTF

Barry went up the street, they reopened that spot Audie, Dave,Kim. They never got in bed with Barry or anything up the street.

At some point Dave got divorced, he was the first one out. He also closed the Merced room 30-40 minutes south on the 99. Audie & Kim were left. And at the end of the day Audie was the last man standing, I don’t know how long Kim stayed around.

Audie might have been there alone longer I’m not sure-I was 100% in Vegas and don’t really know. It closed eventually until Joe came in and you know what happened then, he reopened it yet again for a couple years.

Blvd Billiards was renamed but was in continuous operation the whole time.

That’s how I remember it, I’ll make a call and verify

Best

I understand, I kinda suspected that.

Your all good with me, and your contributions here are great. Me and Jay been talking Modesto days thanks to you.

I really enjoyed seeing that poster, brought back memories of when I started playing pool, Feronis was the 2nd real pool room I started to play in 3-4-5 days a week. It was my main room for about a year. 1986

I was talking to a guy here on AZB who was there from 82-86. I started going there winter 85 or early 86. We tried to figure out if we knew each other. We knew lots of same people. He mentioned names I had forgot. Fun times.

That poster was cool.

Feel better, stay strong, you got this. And stay here!

Take care. Hit me if ya need mw
