I have lived in a 55+ on the South Jersey coast for the past 15 years and this is my Home Room. I took this picture about 9:00 am and there is always someone in here and you can always get a game.

Very nice! You did a great job.

The short answer is no. Even though I've played for the past 65 years I don't like watching if I'm not a participant.

What an absolutely perfect "man cave", as much as I hate that phrase.

I started working at a pool hall at 15, 65 years ago. My job was everything the boss didn't like doing you give it to the kid. He hated to re-tip the house cues. I guess I did at least 500. We did everything by hand and to this day I do them by hand. Although I would like to mess with the lath...

I wore progressives for years and they worked well, but at around 70 my ophthalmologist did both eyes for cataracts. Since that time I haven't needed glasses and I seem to see the balls just fine.

Hi, I'm Jim from the South Jersey Shore. I started playing when I turned 15 and got a job at the local pool hall back in Illinois. That was 65 years ago and I still play with a great group of guys for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. I have enjoyed pool most of my life and strive for improvement.
