    POOL HALL for sale...Portage, Indiana

    Yep, that's the place. It's the only pool hall within a pretty cosiderable distance for the area. Next closest hall is Munster to the west and South Bend to the east, as far as I know.

    WTB: Sardo rack "hard" case

    How to clean VERY dirty shaft?

    The key to getting as much of the chalk out of the shaft as possible is using a Magic Eraser and cleaning WITH the grain of the shaft. I use denatured alcohol to do this. Clean a few times until the piece of Magic Eraser isn't picking up any more color off the shaft. Then, spin it on the...
