I ran 95 today! I did not have a break ball in my last rack and hooked myself trying to manufacture one. Fargo 664

I have not been to Rack Daddy's in a decade. It was a pool room worth visiting, if you have time. 421 Hampshire St. Quincy IL 217-228-1818

My playing cue has been a Jim Buss for a dozen years now. I have only good things to say about my cue and the man himself. I was lucky enough to have him take care of my cue maintenance for over a decade. I am really not much of a cue guy so talking about the hit is hard for me to describe...

You could get ribs or fried chicken at the homestyle place....

They did have a master of the table women's division at one time. IIRC
