The Boston Globe just wrote a nice piece about Amazin Billiards in Malden, MA. Article can be read here, for free Good to see a mostly positive article about the game we love, and about a dedicated owner. Enjoy

Eagle Billiards in Dickson City (near Scranton) just got their liquor license, and have been upgrading to 9' Diamonds - Eagle Billiards Edited - not as far north - Allentown - Jordan Lanes has 10 9' Gold Crowns kept in good condition.

RE: APA... How does it work? - 9' TABLES If this is a factor in where to move, I know the Clearwater, FL area has a number of rooms w/9' tables that host in house and travelling leagues, APA included. There is also another one in Chicago that does an in-house APA league on 9' tables. Can't...

You can shoot it, but the table remains open, as you have not pocketed a ball in a called pocket (since you declared safety). Rule #2, and rule #10: https://www.billiards.com/article/official-bca-8-ball-rules Or even more explicitly, in the CSI / BCAPL 8 Ball rulebook, page 44: 1. Groups are...

We have one in Ashland, PA. 7 Gold Crown 1's, 1 heated billiard table. Honor system for water/soda/snacks, BYOB. Local beer distributor is conveniently located across the parking lot (same owner). The place is fantastic.

My recommendation is to move to Pinellas County (Clearwater area). You'll be on the coast, and you can follow rt. 19 up or down and find the following pool halls: Strokers - Palm Harbor: Strokers has an in house Straight Pool league, APA Masters, regular APA, and a Sunday night 10 ball...

Yes, but it was 5 yrs after we first met (playing pool) because i had another gf at the time. That relationship ended, we had our moment after 5 yrs of flirting & innuendo, and then I moved away for work :(

Food & Drink - Very good bar food, reasonably priced for the area, large portions. Tables - 6 9' Gold Crowns (Table one is shimmed and is the "owner's table", not necessarily open to the public), and 3 8' Gold Crowns. They keep the tables in pretty good condition. Important information - They...

Hurricane Room, right outside the Kings Cross tube stop. http://www.hurricaneroom.co.uk/kings-cross-hurricane-room-intro/ I visited London for the first time 3 yrs ago and stopped in here. Very nice equipment & friendly service. Unfortunately, I can't speak to any tournaments they might...

What are the rules for the 9-Ball on Friday? Winner Break or Alternate? RYO? 3-Foul Rule? 9 on the break? Thanks

How was this tournament? How many shooters? Who won?

If you're looking at FL, and pool is your primary reason, consider the Tampa/St. Pete area. Pinellas county (St. Pete side) in particular has Stroker's, which is where the US Amateurs have been held for the last 5+ yrs. Also, Stix Dunediin, Stix Palm Harbor, Family Billiards, CM's Place, The...

I play in a league where we play makeups at whatever your current handicap is. For example, I'm playing a guy tomorrow that I was supposed to play 3 months ago (first week of season), and if I played him then, I would have gotten a spot of about 15 balls, going to 150. Now, I have to give him...

Given the "2/3rds" statement above, would you then not want any seated president, EVER, to give an acknowledgement to team USA? For the past 30+ yrs, voter turnout has been under 55% for every presidential election, so we're already starting with 45% of the population NOT voting for whomever...
