As long as I am alive, pool has not died. However, where I grew up many years ago there were at least 7 pool rooms. Now, there are none within 15 miles and the one I play at when visiting is a bowling alley/pool room. So, room wise there are definitely fewer than there were years ago. I also...

Thx for the response. I bought a stream before and it was not good. Next year, I'll give this a whirl or go to the event. Lived in VB for four years long ago. Al
