Glad to hear it. It's a tough go, you have my congratulations!

Nope. Sold most of my pool stuff. Still got a couple Joss West cues for the rare time I feel like hitting a couple balls. Always loved Bill Stroud's cues.

Note that Nova Cues did not always have a logo. The early cues had no logo at all. I knew Nubs well in those years and made it clear that was something he needed to address.

You're telling me. There really is a need for such a tool, its a shame no one has found a way to make it profitable enough to keep the database up to date. By the way if anyone is interested, I know a great domain that is available for a fair price, playpool.com. Might be able to work out...

The Hustler (1961) Movie Poster, Original 3-Sheet. Never Used, Folded, Graded 8 of 10 Still, and likely always will be, the greatest pool movie ever made. Based on the Walter Tevis book of the same name. This is a 3-sheet, 41” by 81”. If you are not familiar with Movie Posters, it is 3 times...

I have one set left of Super Aramith Pro pool balls for sale. $140 firm. This is an older set, with a red triangle cueball. The balls are in excellent condition. Two sets are already sold. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303578951234

It pretty much is the only place to play in Pittsburgh. Frankly I don't find there is that much going on there in the evenings. There is a special for seniors during the day so that is one of the busier times, mostly billiards.

The domain playpool.com is for sale. Visit the website for additional information. If it does not sell before the second quarter of 2019 it will be auctioned. If you have an interest, PM me for additional details. Ed Mercier

Palm Creek Palm Creek in Casa Grande, Arizona has a nice pool room with about 6 9' tables. During the season they have a Saturday 9-ball tournament, DE, race to 2. Mixed doubles leagues on Mondays, and other leagues including a traveling league during the week. The level of play frankly...

Breakers Billiards in Dormont has restarted their weekly 9-ball tournaments. I think they are held every Saturday afternoon. I don't know any other details. The tournament has been restarted pretty recently, I think the turnout is low right now.

Just played on this table tonight. Will hate to see it go, table plays great and the lighting is excellent as well. Don't buy it before tomorrow I plan to be playing straight pool on it tomorrow evening!

Nice Room Shane Stopped in tonight to Steel City Billiards and met Shane. He has a very nice room I am impressed. I played a little straight pool and 8-ball. The room has top notch equipment and is a great place to play some serious pool, but at the same time is a good atmosphere to take a...

Enjoyed the music at least as much as the pool!

It's been years since I've seen George, sorry to hear he isn't doing well. I always thought he was a class act in the Wisconsin Pool Scene. Had one of the biggest strokes in the game in his day.

Yeah that seems to be the mode I am in. I am sorry to say I haven't picked up a cue with even a halfway serious attempt to play for several years. But I have some thoughts about maybe a small room as part of my retirement plan. But that's still several years away. Great to hear from you and...
